- I like to take the chance and apologize to all the Shaq lovers out there. He is old. He is terrible a shooting free throws . Shaq now is only a shade of what he once was and with his decreasing minutes and skill goes his fantasy value. His style play leaves a lot to be desired, the guy 340 pounds and 7 foot tall but his absolute lack of touch kills his fantasy numbers. I'm sorry Shaq but it's over.

- Breakout player of the year in fantasy, if he hasn't already is Carmelo Anthony. With the addition of Chauncey Billups last season and now embarking on their first full season together, both will have big fantasy years. Chauncey is going to demand a lot of attention on defense and with his ability to pass the ball means a lot of return for Anthony owners in fantasy.

-Young players to take a look at in your league: Johhny Flynn, he's looks good early on as he'll look to make a campaign for rookie of the year. Corey Brewer, here is a guy that may not look to score 30 a night, but has the skill set to pick up block and steals on the regular. Spencer Hawes, I like his game. He can stretch the floor with his outside jumper, can hit threes and rebounds the ball well. He reminds he of a younger Troy Murhphy out in Indiana and murphy has proven that power forwards that can shoot the three ball are extremely valuable in fantasy. Roy Hibbert, with the lack of talent and the absence of both Murphy and the grossly hated Jeff Foster look to Hibbert to fill the void. He has the size and his rookie year under his belt, you should expect big things.
