Here are a few NBA players to keep you eye on and possibly add if you need some help!
 |
Caron Butler, Small Forward
Washington Wizards
 |
|
| Caron Butler is one of the toughest players in the league. Caron can score, defend, and pass. With the injury to Gilbert Arenas it leaves the Wizards with two primary options to score Caron Butler and Antawn Jameson. I personally think that Butler is the better of the two options. Butler is coming off an All-Star year, and look for him again in the game come February. Butler has increased his points per game and rebounds per game every year since he got to Washington and is on pace to do it again this season. I suggest that you go out and trade for Caron Butler before he has another triple double like he did the other day. |

Kevin Martin, Shooting Guard
Sacramento Kings |
 |
| Kevin Martin can flat out score. Coming out of Western Carolina many people doubted him when the Kings took him in the first round. After finally cracking into the lineup over the past couple of years, Martin has showed why he was drafted where he was. Martin is currently the best option that the Kings have and is scoring over 25 points per game right now. Martin is also getting to the free throw line a lot he is averaging over 10 foul shots a game and is currently shooting 85% from the line. Martin basically is just a scorer, he doesn’t really pass a lot or play that great on defense, but he is in the Kings lineup for the same reason that he should be in yours because he scores. |

Rudy Gay, Guard-Forward
Memphis Grizzlies |
 |
| Rudy Gay has all the potential in the world, he is 6’9 small forward, that can run the floor, shoot the 3, and defend. The only thing wrong with that is it is all potential. Will the real Rudy Gay finally show up this year? He is going to have to, because he is now the number one option in Memphis it is no longer Pau Gasol. Rudy is currently leading the Grizzles in scoring and steals, and is also pulling down close to 5 boards a game. If Rudy Gay can stop being lazy and become the player that everyone thinks he will become he will truly be a monster. Gay is someone that you should look on having on your team, because in fantasy the best thing that a guy can do for you is score points, and Rudy Gay will do that. |

Kelenna Azubuike, Guard-Forward
Golden State Warriors |
|
| Kelenna Azubuike the undrafted second year player out of Kentucky is starting to turn some heads. Azubuike has cracked the starting lineup for the Warriors, and the way that he is playing it is going to be hard to get him out of it. Unlike the other players on the list so far, Azubuike isn’t the best option on his team. Azubuike is currently averaging about 15 points per game to go along with 5 rebounds per game. The only thing that can keep Kelenna Azubuike from becoming a star is the return of his teammate Stephan Jackson |
|
Danny Granger, Forward
Indiana Pacers |
|
| Danny Granger is currently leading the Pacers in scoring and besides Jermaine O’Neal is the only player on the Pacers that has the ability to put up big numbers night in and night out. Granger the third year pro out of New Mexico is averaging over 18 points a game, and over 6 boards a game. Granger is a big physical player that isn’t afraid to take the ball to the rim and can also hit the shot from outside. Granger is also starting to get the killer instinct, he wants the ball when it counts, and is quickly becoming a leader on the Pacers. I would personally monitor Granger’s next couple of games to see if he continues to become the go to option, if he is get him on your team. |
