Following Pre-season Games for Fantasy Basketball Purposes

Preseason success or failures doesn't necessarily translate into the regular season, but it does represent somre more information for the equation. Here are some preseason notables:

Marvin Williams - 17 ppg in 6 games on 50% fg and 89% ft shooting. He should be starting this year, but too bad he doesn't really help out on the rebounds, assists, steals, blocks or 3's categories.

Louis Williams - 16.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 4.0 apg, 1.2 spg on 54% fg and 84% ft shooting. He certainly has the talent. However, he doesn't have a starting job yet, can't shot the long ball and probably won't be a super high assist point guard.

Rudy Gay - I don't need to list the stats, he's been on a flat out tear in the pre-season. Let's hope he gets the regular minutes he deserves.

Lamarcus Aldridge - Another one of those, already hyped players. He's already passed the sleeper zone and will be drafted or bought at a level where he will be one of your team's key contributors. Understand what he'll do this year before you over spend.

Al Thornton - 18.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 1.3 3pg on 48% fg and 86% ft shooting. I havn't seen Al play live yet, but judging from these stats he looks like a shooter. (13 3 point attempts and alittle low on the rebounds in 6 games, I thought he was a post player)

Ronnie Brewer - 17 ppg on a blazing 59% fg and 92% ft shooting. The kid's been shooting the lights out in 6 games. But I wouldn't expect too much just yet from the rook and Jerry Sloan controlled system.

Kevin Martin - picking up where he left off as the leading scorer for the Kings.
