NBA Fantasy 2010 – 11 Player Review: Carmelo Anthony

Rumors have been going on all over the NBA that Carmelo Anthony will be traded because he didn’t sign his contract extension. Will this affect his NBA fantasy contribution, you will find out in this player review. His performance in the fantasy league will be affected depending on the NBA team he will be traded to. If he will be traded in a team that has another superstar, his performance in the fantasy league might be affected a bit. But there is a positive effect and that would be an increase in his assists. But in general, the trade will not affect that much.

In the past few games he did not play because of the death of her sister. But this will make a good effect since he is well rested physically hopefully he will be 100% emotionally. In this NBA fantasy player review, you will see how explosive Carmelo Anthony can be. In the 2010 – 11 season, he increased his average in rebounds. He is also not a bad defensive player so he is also a complete package just like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. He is one of the elite players that can contribute to a fantasy team every game.

If you are looking for a fantasy player that can score, rebound, dish assists and plays a good defensive role he is the right player for your roster. Carmelo Anthony is more on a role playing type of player so he can contribute in your fantasy statistics in any field. Some NBA fantasy player review might say that he is a superstar. That is true, but if you look on how he plays in the court he is more than a superstar. He may not have those high average points but when look at his other statistics you can say that he is what you need.  

NBA Basketball Fantasy Strategy: Key Players

If you cannot win in the different categories in a fantasy game you cannot win at all. Here is an NBA basketball fantasy strategy that you should try. This type of strategy is called the rotation of key players. It is not everyday that your key players will contribute in your weekly statistics so it is important that you can formulate a good rotation for your key players. You are allowed to have 13 players in your fantasy roster so you should obtain at least 7 to 8 key players so that you can have enough key players to contribute every game day.

You don’t need to obtain such players as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade. But just in case you have one of these players, it is up to you if you will keep them or trade them with 2 key players. But if you want to keep you superstar, it is also possible as long as you make sure to find other key players in the free agent. In an NBA basketball fantasy strategy you should make sure that your strategy would be gaining under rated players that can really contribute a lot in any statistics. Here are some NBA players that would be really effective in a fantasy league and could become a key player.

In the Center position, just pick a player that would at least contribute 7 PPG, 6 RPG, 1 to 2 APG and at least 1 BPG. There are other players you can choose from in all the positions. Just make sure that they will have the same statistics as the players listed above.

This is one of the best strategies you can use in a fantasy league. There will be a lot of NBA basketball fantasy strategy but this will one of the most effective ones you can use. Another thing you should also remember is not to pick a player that is a substitute for a superstar. This will lessen his minutes especially during crunch time. The lesser the minutes, the less contribution a player can make. When it comes to consistency, the players listed above are consistent as superstars they only have a limited playing time that is why they are not as productive as superstars.

NBA Fantasy 2010 – 11 Player Review: Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin

There are a lot of explosive players in the NBA and this is a big help in a Fantasy team. Blake Griffin can help you in 3 fields which are Field Goal Percentage, Rebounds and Points. He averages a double-double while shooting over 50 percent which is really a big factor. In this NBA fantasy player review you will be risking adding Blake in your roster because of his proneness to injury. Since he is a very explosive player, he drives to the basket so hard that he doesn’t care if he gets banged up real hard. His NBA statistics in NBA games is really impressive so injury will be the only problem. He is only in his second year in the NBA so expect more from him.

His offense is really great and when it comes to the defensive end he is not that bad since he can defend well and give you a couple of steals. Here is his statistics since October 27, 2010.

Blake Griffin – Power Forward (October 27, 2010 – December 4, 2010)

20.7 PPG | 11.6 RPG | 2.7APG | 0.7 SPG | 53.1 FG%

The Los Angeles Clippers don’t have any other dominant player in the Power Forward position so expect him to maintain this average this season. Blake Griffin’s player review is not 100 percent recommending having this player in your roster. You must consider that in the NBA games he is productive same with NBA Fantasy but he needs to learn more. His explosiveness in the court may affect his career because of his proneness to injury. Other than that, if you want to gamble on him he will be worth it. If you watched his previous games for sure you know this is a must player to add to your roster.
