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

#5 Hassan Whiteside (C, Miami Heat)

Whiteside wiping your opponents

NBA rebounding leader in 2016-17 Hassan Whiteside's meteoric rise in the NBA continued so has his fantasy value.

He had a career high in all but one department of his game last season and averaged a double-double. With 17.0 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game he showed why he is considered one of the best defenders in the NBA.

With his ever improving offensive game Whiteside's importance in fantasy cannot be undermined.

#6 Kyrie Irving (PG, Celtics

)

Kyrie taking your team to glory

2015 NBA champion and two-time NBA finalist Kyrie Irving aka Uncle Drew finally got his wish when he got traded to Celtics. Kyrie will get to come out of LeBron's shadow and lead a team this season.

His usage rate is surely going rise and we expect his production of 25.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game to rise too with nobody to object his shoot on sight policy.

He is mostly a scorer and won't provide you much use if you are after rebounds or assists. But he makes up a lot with his scoring and surely deserves a spot on your roster.
