Fantasy: Top 10 Rookies
Blake Griffin – Should, no will, step in the starting line-up right away whether he is ready or not. He should produce around 17 and 8 once he gets acclimated to his new teammates and learns to play the 2 man game with B. Diddy.
Tyreke Evans – Will immediately start in Sacramento and should actually put up better overall numbers than any other rookie this season which may indeed lead to ROY honors. Expect 15, 5 and 5 from Evans as he looks to start contributing to the Kings, and to your fantasy squad, right away.
Johnny Flynn – Flynn has been named the starter barring the unforeseen. Now while his ceiling is now somewhat limited with Sessions in town, Flynn will get every opportunity to prove he has what it takes, and playing with AJ and Love will make that job a lot easier.
Stephen Curry – Should be given the green light from the get-go and is a favourite to win the Rookie of the Year award this season. Look to aquire in all formats he should have quite the season in the GS offense.
Brandon Jennings – Jennings is undoubtedly too talented for Skiles to be starting Ridnour. When Jennings finally enters the staring lineup, watch out because he will be anointed with instant borderline top-10 fantasy PG status immediately….believe it.
DeMar DeRozan – ROY talent surrounded by good team which will keep him out of the ROY race but his %’s along with his rebounding and steal numbers will make DeRozan a fine utility play all season long. He is one of the two players on this list who will be a better pro than college player.
James Harden – Expected to immediately step-in as the #2 scorer on the Thunder offense Harden will have some games that will be forgettable and some games that the Thunder will look like the most promising young team in the NBA.
Terrence Williams – Terrence Williams is a Raptors Digest favorite as he projects to be a fantasy stalwart in all the offensive categories. Add him to your cheat sheet now, he will be a better pro than college player.
Jrue Holiday – We do not like Lou Williams as a starter. Jrue Holiday has the offensive tools and potential and should start before mid-season Based on pure potential may in fact be the real steal of the draft.
Earl Clark – Earl Clark is playing with Steve Nash and is in fact too talented for Gentry to keep coming off the bench. They will find him minutes at the 3, the 4, and possibly the 1. Ultra-versatile point forward who will fit right into the SSOL offense.
