NBA Fantasy: Buy Low, Add Now

Despite being less than ideal, smart trades and creative pickups off the waiver wire can make up for a sub-par draft.

Here are some players you might be interested in acquiring if you feel your roster is mediocre or simply want to improve your squad over the long haul.

FREE AGENT/WAIVER MARKET

Brook Lopez (NJ – PF, C)
In a world were productive fantasy centers are hard to come by, it’s unfathomable how someone like Brook Lopez is available in 41 percent of Yahoo! Fantasy Leagues.

As a starter, the young center is averaging 13 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks while shooting 53 percent from the field and a un-center-like 80 percent from the free throw line.

Those numbers are strong enough to place him amongst the top 20 centers in the league. Regardless of Josh Boone’s return from an ankle injury, Lopez is a valuable center.

Rafer Alston (HOU – PG)
Need point guard stats (3PTM, AST, ST)? Then pick up the newly-dubbed fantasy legend, Skip-to-My-Lou.
