It's The Brow's world and we're just living in it.
Anthony Davis tops all but one of our lists and continues his unbelievable start to the season. If you can get him, do it, but be prepared to pay a lot for him. I've gotten several questions from Davis owners on whether they should sell high on him, and I tell them that I don't think he's going to come down significantly. So Brow owners, just hold on and enjoy the ride.
I will continue to pump up Andre Drummond until I'm blue in the face (or fingers). He doesn't seem quite as valuable as he truly is because he doesn't score at the volume the other top guys do. Don't let the points affect your judgement. Use it as an opportunity to buy Drummond for less than his actual worth. If you're in a keeper league, I would give up almost any big man other than Anthony Davis and Kevin Love to get him. The man is going to be a stud for many years to come.
Ryan Anderson is back from an injury and solidly in the New Orleans Pelicans rotation. He is averaging 22.5 ppg with 5 three-pointers through his first two games. Most of his value that you see below is tied up in the ridiculous 64% field goal percentage that he's posted so far. That will certainly come down as he's a career 42.7% shooter, so don't expect to see him in these lists by next week.
I said last week to really focus on the FT% table, as it can provide you with some unexpected names if you choose to punt that category. Both Clippers big men are awful free throw shooters, but vault into being top-seven fantasy players when you punt the free throw category. Dwight Howard also becomes a top-15 player when punting FT%, and you can really get an edge up on your competition if you select the right guys that you can find at value.
Check out the tables and good luck poaching some value, see you all next week!
