Howard is yet another superstar that wants to be moved to another team. Orlando isn’t sure it will be able to deal him anytime soon, so this situation could hang around all season. Regardless of the potential distraction, there’s no question about what Superman is capable of doing on the court. He enjoyed his finest campaign last season, sinking more freebies than ever (even slightly improving his rate), had another huge rebounding season – especially on the offensive glass – and reached a new personal best in points per game. The Nets are desperately trying to land Howard, but this deal doesn’t sound like it’s going to happen immediately if at all.

Love’s shooting touch soared to new personal bests, his FT shooting continues to get better, his rebounding – on both ends of the floor – was phenomenal, and even his assists were up a shade. If this dude ever turned into a shot blocker, he’d be the most valuable player in Fantasy basketball. But as it stands now, this 23-year-old has quickly become one of the most promising players in the game and he’s helped turn Minnesota into a team to watch and one that should improve by leaps and bounds this season.

Durant is a match-up nightmare for opposing coaches, trying to find someone fast enough and big enough to guard the 6’9” small forward who can score from anywhere. While Durant wasn’t quite as dominant last season as he was during 2009-10, he remains the top player in all of Fantasy hoops. His 3-point accuracy has slipped in each of the past two seasons, and if that continues you have to wonder if he’ll keep jacking up as many from downtown as he did last season. Durant’s FT shooting also slipped slightly, but he again threw up a block per game. He’s still just 23, so it’s reasonable to expect him to bounce back and perhaps even exceed what he did two seasons ago.

Welcome to the 2011-12 RotoRob NBA Draft Kit. Given the last minute nature of the labour agreement and the truncated scheduled, we’ve had to throw this together very quickly, but we’ll do our best to keep you up to date on Fantasy basketball happenings all season long. So while you wonder if Dallas will again be the last team standing in the Western Conference, let’s review out picks for the top 35 point guards in Fantasy basketball.
