Kyle Lowry: The Most Underrated Fantasy Basketball Player
As fantasy football season is coming to an end, fantasy basketball is quickly becoming the focal point for us all! I do my Top 100 rankings every other week, but I figured it would be nice to fill you all in on some players who are flying up the list. From Kyle Lowry to Elfrid Payton, there are guys in the league who get better each and every week. Each of the five players should be guys you all should be targeting in potential trades going forward if they’re not already on your squad!

Here are five guys who are flying up my fantasy rankings for next week:

Kyle Lowry, Point Guard

Coming into the 2015 season, Lowry was a highly underrated fantasy player, but so far this year he has put up great stats for his owners. This season, he has averaged 22.0 points, 6.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 35.8 minutes per game. Lowry has also been deadly from three-point range, averaging 3.0 three-point shots made per contest this year. He has quickly become a top-tier point guard for fantasy purposes and should be a guy everyone wants to own.

During his rookie campaign, he has averaged 14.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 27.4 minutes per game. If you own Porzingis, you most likely either picked him up super late in your draft or scooped him up off of waivers. Either way, he is one of the most talented fantasy gems of this young season!

Brandon Knight, Point

    Chris Paul is a professional NBA player and currently plays for the LA Clippers and is star player of Clippers. Chris Paul is a great player as he is super smart at basketball. He is small at 6’1 for the NBA, and he plays PG (Point Guard). Chris Paul isn’t fast in fact he is really slow and he knows this, so this is what makes him one of the smartest as he beats all his defenders with certain moves. He either waits for them to reach or makes amazing passes and he cannot beat his defender with his speed.…

    Steph curry (and it’s is going to be very hard to argue) is the best shooter the league has ever seen. The last three years he has been the hardest player to guard on and off the ball. The main reason is that he not only is an elite catch and shoot player from anywhere on the floor , he can get his shot off on the dribble with his quick handles and release. The numbers he’s posted is off the charts not only just at the three point line but from beyond the line (i’m talking 28+ ft) he has a better percentage than players shooting 22ft. The man is such a great shooter the legend ray allen make hi statement and says, “ Based on what he’s done, I think he has to be—he’s on his way to being the best ever. It’s always arguable, based on who’s telling the story. One thing I always tell people is, it’s hard to compare generations. Everybody has something or somebody that makes him feel special about the game, or the way they saw and the way they appreciate the game. I’ve sat back and watched a lot,…

    They have good shooting ability and are also very athletic. Usually if a team has someone like this they are most likely the superstar. All-around players have all of the known skills and that is why they are so rare. For example, LeBron James is a versatile player who can dominate using his speed, defense, and his shooting. He can basically do everything necessary to be unstoppable. Another good example would be Jimmy Butler. He can score, rebound, and defend which is why he is so valuable to his team. Players like these only come every so often and many teams will push to place them on their team.…
