Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Statistics are through November 9th – 15th.
POINTS
BULLISH
Baron Davis, PG, Golden State Warriors
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 26.0 PPG; 49.1 FG%; 69.2 FT%
Head coach Don Nelson’s up-tempo offense is like Mickey D’s to Davis – he’s lovin’ it! Although, if you look at the new slimmer and trimmer Davis, he isn’t loving cheeseburgers and fries as much anymore. While, he’s revealing that he is “the man” in the new offense – scoring points, passing off assists, and actually shooting decent percentages – let’s hope Davis doesn’t pull a Kirstie Alley and flaunt the weight loss. Baron, just show off your game!
Joe Johnson, PG/SG, Atlanta Hawks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 30.3 PPG; 50.0 FG%; 82.4 FT%
Okay, tell me if you’ve heard this one before – Joe Johnson is no “ordinary Joe.” That must have been the twelfth time this week, right? Well, Johnson just can’t help making news and receiving the adulation of writers as he is just flat-out playing like an MVP right now. J.J. is showing a healthy appetite for putting the ball in the basket and this week isn’t any sort of fluke as Johnson’s been scoring more than Ken Jennings in a round of Jeopardy from the start of the season. It should be noted that J.J. ranked third overall last week in scoring with 28.7 points in three games. Just call him “extraordinary Joe.”
Other Blue-Chippers for the Week
Michael Redd, SG, Milwaukee Bucks – 4 G; 35.0 PPG
Carmelo Anthony, SF, Denver Nuggets – 4 G; 33.5 PPG
Dwyane Wade, PG/SG, Miami Heat – 3 G; 31.7 PPG
Keep An Eye On
Carlos Boozer, PF/C, Utah Jazz – 3 G; 23.0 PPG
Tony Parker, PG, San Antonio Spurs – 3 G; 22.0 PPG
