Every year, there are a few fantasy basketball players who rise out of obscurity, establishing themselves as bona fide must start players through the course of the season.
Maybe you were eve watching them as they developed, before another manager in your league snagged them off the waiver wire. Wasn't that a bummer if that happened?
During the 08-09 season, players like Tyrus Thomas fit the mold, owned in nearly every league by season's end. How about this year though? With a few months of basketball behind us, it's time to reflect by proclaiming some of the next enduring fantasy forces in the league.
In my mind, it isn't much of a contest this season. I believe that Kevin Love has been the player to stand above the rest of the pack. His stats are invaluable to many fantasy teams in leagues around the world.
At center for the Timberwolves, there's Kevin Love. Not only is he one of the best rebounders in the NBA right now, averaging over 12.5 per game, but his scoring (15+) and his free throw percentage (80%) are both very impressive.
Any center who can shoot 80% from the line is magnificent in that category. A huge bonus that comes with owning Love is the fact that he's averaging over half a three pointer per game.
How many NBA centers do you know of who shoot three pointers? There's Andrea Bargnani and Mehmet Okur, but there aren't many others after that. Add Love to the list.
I don't think it'd be realistic to say that anyone saw this coming. He's a legitimate top 30 player so far this year, despite the fact that he was drafted near the end of most drafts, if at all.
As of now, no player has hit the fantasy radar with the impact that Kevin Love has. It should be really interesting to see where he takes his game from here.
