Fantasy Basketball 2017/18: 10 Players to draft in Round 2

#3 Rudy Gobert (C, Utah Jazz)

Up and over with Gobert

NBA all-defensive first team member and leader of blocks Rudy Gobert comes into this season as the alpha dog for Utah. The Jazz lost their All-Star forward Gordan Hayward and guard George Hill this offseason leaving Gobert with a huge workload.

This may work in our favour as Gobert's usage will increase translating into fantasy points. Also, the addition of talented guard Ricky Rubio will be quite beneficial because of Rubio's elite passing skills.

He averaged a double-double last season with 14 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. Points scoring may not be his biggest strength but he makes it up with other aspects of his game and with the current situation in Utah be ready to see a huge spring in these stats.

#4 Chris Paul (PG, Houston Rockets)

Assist King at work

Assist king Chris Paul aka CP3 will suit up as a rocket this season. Playing alongside him will be MVP runner-up James Harden.

This pairing has taken a lot of fantasy managers to dreamland everybody expecting havoc from both of them. That will be easier said than done as both are ball dominant superstars. Still, a lot of stars have played alongside each other with success example GSW, Heat.

CP3 scored 18.1 points, 5.0 rebounds & 9.2 assists per game last season, lower than 15-16 season but injuries played a major part in it. At 32 he isn't getting any younger and with Harden doing the bulk of scoring a dip in points is expected but assists column can see a major bump.

All in all this partnership between Harden and CP3 is something to be wary of but Paul is a superstar and this year won't be any different.
