Why Anthony Davis should go No. 1

Consider his peak production in 2003-04: 24.2 PPG, 13.9 RPG, 5.0 APG, 2.2 BPG, 1.5 SPG, 49.8 FG%, 79.1 FT%. He had such a complete stat line — especially factoring in weighted percentages — with no holes in it, that KG will always be the 7-foot stick by which I measure other fantasy players. And […]

Biggest risers, fallers in key fantasy basketball categories

At this point, Ellis probably only has a few years left in the league, and it’s safe to say that his days as a valuable fantasy option are over. Today, however, we don’t want to focus on the aging players. Instead, we want to go around the league and highlight the players in the prime […]

Cregan’s fantasy basketball awards: Green over Curry for MVP

Here is my not-so-traditional version of the 2015-16 fantasy basketball awards, dishing out hardware for common categories, such as Comeback Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player, and for all-new categories or those not often featured, such as Rookie Superstar of Tomorrow Award and the Shawn Bradley Courage Award, among many others.

Is McCollum’s stardom built to last?

Just ask Anthony Davis owners what they were thinking after his 4-for-20 shooting night in the season opener against Golden State. Even those Davis owners who told you they weren’t concerned probably were crossing their fingers behind their back.

Gregg Popovich says Kawhi Leonard quad bruise not serious

Leonard suffered a bruised right quadriceps in the third quarter of Wednesday’s 112-88 win over the Miami Heat and was held out for Friday’s 110-104 win against the Memphis Grizzlies at the AT&T Center as the Spurs broke a tie with the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for the second-longest regular-season home win streak. Leonard also won’t […]

Phil needs Carmelo for the long term

Under that scenario, Anthony would have earned $23.5 million on a test drive with rookies Jackson and Derek Fisher, who would have discovered that Melo-ball is compatible with the team-centric principles governing the triangle offense. It shaped up as a win-win designed to create all kinds of salary-cap flexibility next summer, except for one thing: […]

LeBron James: ‘I’m here to help’

“We have to understand what it takes to win,” James said. “It’s going to be a long process, man. There’s been a lot of losing basketball around here for a few years. So a lot of guys that are going to help us win ultimately haven’t played a lot of meaningful basketball games in our […]

Starting Five: Is Gordon Hayward a future fantasy superstar?

This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Bradford Doolittle and ESPN Fantasy analysts Joe Kaiser and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Kaiser: I love Hayward’s fantasy value because he contributes in so many ways, but I don’t see him ever rising too far above these post All-Star break numbers. And that’s OK. As long as this […]
