Fantasy Look

The Bulls have several players that should be on fantasy players’ radar this season.  ESPN.com’s Josh Whitling notes guard Kirk Hinrich as a sleeper in 2008-09.  Pretty much all of Hinrich’s numbers suffered last season and he could be in line for a bounce back year.  “Chris Duhon forced him to play out of position last season, and the Bulls’ starting lineup was a carousel.  Still, Hinrich still managed to average 6 assists, 1 3-pointer and 1.2 steals per game even though he played fewer minutes.  With the loss of Duhon and fragility of Larry Hughes, the Bulls will need a veteran leader in the backcourt.  Plus, Hinrich has never played fewer than 75 games.  Capitalize upon people’s low expectations and draft Hinrich.  His numbers should be much closer to those of two seasons ago,” Whitling writes.

Luol Deng will give fantasy owners points and rebounds, and should bounce back in the field goal percentage department as well.  Ben Gordon, as always, will provide points and three pointers, but owners will have to deal with his inconsistency and poor field goals percentage.  Whitling also notes that Syracuse product Demetrius Nichols could be a fantasy super-sleeper for those in need of three pointers.
