Let’s take a look at some of the players that will have a serious chance at improving in the second half of the season. This is going to be a list compiled of players that have been underachieving, injured or will be starting or seeing more minutes in the second half. i’m not going to talk about players that had great first halves and will continue to do so because we already know that Kobe and LeBron are studs and they will continue to be studs.

Ramon Sessions- If you haven’t noticed by now, I am a huge Ramon Sessions fan. With Luke Rinour out for a few more weeks with a broken thumb, Sessions is in prime position to steal the starting PG role away from Ridnour. Even if Ridnour returns as the starting PG, Sessions will have a spot at SG waiting for him and Charlie Bell will go back to the bench. Sessions has not disappointed so far and it doesn’t look like he will anytime soon either. As a starter he is averaging 18.3 ppg, 4 rpg, 7.8 apg and 1.9 spg. He is a fantasy savior in the making. Everyone thought that he would be doing this from the start of the season but Ridnour showed that he could still play and Sessions didn’t really impress anyone. Not the case anymore. Sessions is a solid option in any format as a PG or as a SG but he does seem to play better as the floor general. Read the rest of this entry »

When will Gilbert Arenas return to the basketball court? That is the question that a lot of people are asking. Well, right now there is no answer to that question. No timetable has been set as to when he might return. Now, let’s say that he does return this season. What can we expect to get out of him from a fantasy standpoint? To be brutally honest, nothing.

If he actually decides to play at all this season, it will be in the manner that Elton Brand did last year. It will only be for a week or two and that means he is worthless when it comes to fantasy leagues. There really isn’t any reason for him to come back at all this year, fantasy or reality. Why take a chance at aggravating the injury just to play a few games for a team that is one of the worst in the league? Odds are he will shut things down for the rest of the season.

With news coming out of Milwaukee that Luke Ridnour has suffered a broken thumb during Thursday’s practice, Ramon Sessions should be close to being universally owned within the next few days. Ridnour has played well for the most part but has recently been taking a downturn statistically. With Michael Redd out for the season with a knee injury, Sessions stepped into the starting lineup and succeeded.

Sessions has the potential to score 15+ points, 8+ assists, 3+ rebounds and get 2+ steals on any given night. He has shown that with consistent minutes he is a very stable option at the PG or SG positions. I would pick him up immediately Read the rest of this entry »
