Fantasy basketball has returned, and I have a few picks to offer the readers that I think will be highly beneficial to any fantasy roster. Other than the usual suspects, these 3 picks should pack a huge impact to any fantasy league roster.

Here are my top 3 “steal of the draft” picks for this upcoming season.

Hope they put you into first in your league!

Marreese Speights

Speights is highly productive and has  strong numbers in limited play. Look for him to break out big time this season. He scores well inside, and has tremendous athletic ability and mobility for his size.

If he gets the minutes, he should serve well at a utility roster spot for  blocks, steals, and rebounds. He will not hurt your FG or FT %, and has low turnover rates as he always protects the ball.

Anthony Randolph

Finally a starter, Randolph will shoot a high FG and FT %, and possibly average a double-double this season. With Brandon Wright pretty much a wash for the season, look for Randolph to log big minutes.

He is less of a secret since his breakout performance during the Las Vegas Summer League, and he will fill the stat sheets in multiple offensive and defensive categories, and is worth considering drafting him higher than he ranks. Worth drafting when you get into the 7th round.

DeJuan Blair

Odds are he will be passed on a lot like he was during the 2009 NBA Draft, but you should consider watching him on the waiver wire at the bare minimum. Blair is a rebounding machine, and scores points in bunches.

Keep your eye on him as the season begins, depending on how Gregg Poppovich uses him, he could be the steal of yet another draft by mid season. Let’s face it, Blair was a dominant force for Pitt last year, and has been nothing less than amazing during the preseason.
