Rudy Gobert, the Gaul Wall, the Stifle Tower, the French Rejection (15.9 PPG, 12.9 RPG).DeMarcus Cousins (he’s injured and he’s in legal trouble, so forget about him).Included in this group are young players who could improve to 20-10 guys, or near enough. “ Try to draft the best players overall, you guys!,” said a genius who looks exactly like me.ġ3 players averaged 20+ PPG, 5+ RPG, and 5+ APG: James Harden, Giannis, LeBron James, Steph Curry, KD, Bradley IS A BIG Beal, Blake Griffin, Kyrie Irving, Sergeant Westbrook, DeMar DeChozan, Luka Doncic, Jrue Holiday, and the Joker.ġ4 players averaged between 15 and 19 PPG and had at least 7 RPG. Ideally, you’d have at least one from each. In my humble opinion, a good fantasy team needs to have at least one player from the 20/10 or 20/5 groups. Of those 20 players, two will not play this year: Dr. Points and Boardsħ players averaged 20+ PPG and 10+ Rebounds Per Game (“RPG”): Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Sergeant Russell Westbrook, Nikola Vucevic, and Nikola Jokic.Ģ0 players averaged 20+ PPG and 5+ Assists Per Game (“APG”). I think it’s unlikely for Lou Williams and Rose, but Collins is already at 30 MPG and should improve, Love was returning from injury and will be better, and Clarkson, Dinwiddie, and Harrell are all young vets who can take advantage of opportunities in playing time. Those seven players could all be in for higher value if they get over 30 MPG. Only 7 players (8 if we were counting Boogie Cousins, but we ain’t) scored at least 16 PPG in 30 MPG or less: Only five of those 66 players shot 89 FT% or better: Curry, Maestro Dame Lillard, Danilo Gallinari, KLove, and JJ Redick. Of those 66, only 9 players had a sub-70%: Andrew Wiggins, John Wall, Brandon Ingram, LeBron, Westbrook, Montrezl Harrell, Clint Capela, Ben Simmons, and Andre Drummond (59 FT%, sigh). Nikola Jokic, the Joker (timely nickname!), had the second lowest at 15.1 FGA per game.Ħ6 players averaged 16+ PPG. Of those 34 players, Julius Randle had the lowest average field goal attempts, 14.9 FGA per game.

Scoringģ4 players averaged 20 or more points per game (20+ PPG) last season. We’ll confine these stats to players who played in at least 20 games last year.Īll stats and info are courtesy of NBA.com,, and. Who got you points? Who got you boards? Who dished dimes, and who blocked shots? When building a good fantasy team, one should draft elites, all around contributors, and specialists who dominate in one or two statistical categories (“stat cats”). Here are some stats from last season to help you prepare, focusing specifically on rarity. The NBA season is fast approaching and fantasy basketball leagues are preparing to draft.
