How about Jason Kapono? The guy is shooting 3-pointers at a ridiculous 55 percent clip this year, easily leading the league. He’s taking more than three a game, so the sample isn’t that tiny, and it’s not like Shaq has freed him up with wide open jumpers all year also.
As good of a sharp shooter Kapono has been, that’s how bad Eddy Curry is at everything but scoring in the low post. Dude is 6-11, 285 and hasn’t blocked multiple shots in a game since January 3. During a four-game stretch late last month, Curry hauled in a TOTAL of 12 rebounds, all while playing significant minutes. You would think he could accidentally grab more than that. He’s definitely having a breakout campaign in the scoring department and his FG% is quite nice, but he’s not exactly a well-rounded performer.
That Dwight Howard game-winning alley oop was sick, but did you realize the guy is shooting 78.4 percent (57-of-74) from the floor in six games this month?!
Can someone please teach LeBron James how to shoot a free throw? Hard to be King when your making just 68 percent of your freebies.
Other than maybe A-Rod and LaDainian Tomlinson, there hasn’t been a more dominant fantasy player over the last 10 years than Kevin Garnett.
Welcome to the party, Gerald Wallace.
Mike Dunleavy has seen his playing time increase by nearly 10 minutes since joining Indiana. While his numbers haven’t been much better, they figure to slightly improve in time, especially if he continues to see 35 minutes of run each night. He’s a fine waiver wire pick up if available.
One of the best yet quietest seasons is being played by Mo Williams. Seriously, check out his numbers.
One of the biggest busts this year, on the other hand, has to be Jameer Nelson. Showing no improvement at all, Nelson has only regressed during his third year as a pro.
Just when you think there can’t be any more injuries, Elton Brand, Steve Nash and Baron Davis all go down. Admittedly, the only thing surprising about Davis’ injury is that it didn’t happen sooner.
