Player in focus: Chris Kaman has gotten off to a really good start. Averaging just over 21 points and a hair under 10 boards he looks like a fantasy work horse for the time being. Kaman though is someone you hope you can only hope and pray can stay healthy enough to give you this production all year. Last year it was the foot or a sprain or a fingernail, but play him as often as you can until he falls apart. It's clear that the front court in Clip town in crowded with Camby, Smith, Jordan and eventually No. 1 pick Blake Griffin, who after returning from injury likely will take away from Kaman's production.

Speaking of fantasy centers seeing early success, Marc Gasol is coming out of the gate fast and racking up points and boards. He currently is averaging 14 points, 10 boards and almost two blocks per game. To me that is real solid production on a team that is getting surprisingly better. According to ESPN's fantasy player rater, the only center having a better start to this young season in terms of his fantasy value is Chris Bosh and he really isn't a center.

Note: Adding players that give you the flexibility to play either the guard and forward position or the forward and center position just add even greater value. On those nights were the whole league plays you don't want to be pinned down and have to leave someone out just cause you can't get them off the bench.
