Jerryd Bayless, Kirk Hinrich Are Some of the NBA's Perfect Pick-Ups

The NBA’s Perfect Pick-Ups is a list of players that are still in free-agency in a majority of fantasy leagues that can help improve your fantasy team tremendously.

Here are several players that should be picked up immediately.

Jerryd Bayless (PG, POR) - Before the NBA season began, I put Jerryd Bayless as one of the players to breakout and become a fantasy stud. He has now scored in double figures in his last two games and is getting the minutes he needs to prove what he is capable of putting up.

Suggestion: With Steve Blake out for more than a week, Bayless should be picked up in all fantasy leagues. He could turn into a huge fantasy player with consistent playing minutes night in and night out.

Mardy Collins (PG, LAC) - With Baron Davis on the sidelines, Mardy Collins has managed to put up 14.6 points, 7.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 steals in 38.2 minutes per contest during his last five games. In only his second season, Collins is getting a chance to prove what he can do.

Suggestion: If you are in need of a guard, Collins should be picked up immediately. With Baron out for a few more games, Collins will continue to produce a solid line of all-around stats and contribute greatly to your fantasy team.

Von Wafer (SG, HOU) - Wafer has now scored in double-figures during his last eight games and is showing signs of fantasy life with Tracy McGrady on the bench. Wafer is averaging 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 34.6 minutes of action during his last five games.

Suggestion: As long as T-Mac stays injured, Wafer is a great fantasy option that can give your team a solid amount of points and three-pointers made.

Nick Young (SG, WAS) - Young is averaging 30.8 minutes a game during his last five games and is putting up career numbers while doing so. He has scored 28, 30, and 33 over his last five and is on a scoring tear as of late.

Suggestion: Being only a second-year pro, Young has a great amount of upside to turn into a fantasy stud. He has certainly showcased his scoring ability over the last few games and will be a great fantasy addition while he stays hot. Explosive scorers are hard to come by on the waiver wire, so act quickly.

Kirk Hinrich (PG, CHI) - Hinrich has never averaged under 11 points, six assists, and three rebounds per game during his six-year career. He is now averaging solid minutes for the Bulls and will undoubtedly turn into a very consistent fantasy player once again.

Suggestion: Since returning from injury, Kirk has started to play ball like his old self. He has the potential to put up All-Star numbers and is a MUST add if available in your fantasy league.
