Alright, sports fans, I have for you all another fantasy team preview for the 2015-16 NBA season. This article is loaded with some high upside players who should be on your fantasy basketball rosters this season. The Celtics are one of the NBA’s most beloved franchises and they’re finally getting back into the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Just like the man he was named after, Isaiah Thomas is going to be a great point guard in the NBA. As a whole, Boston has a young group of guys who are primed to get the job done this season.
So, here is my 2015-16 team preview for the Boston Celtics:

This season, he’ll be suiting up in Celtic green, looking to become fantasy relevant once again. Last season, the Warriors had stayed away from using Lee, only giving him 18.4 minutes per game. The lack of minutes really made his numbers decline during the 2014-15 season. During his career, Lee has averaged 14.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. His stats were much more solid a few seasons ago, however, he does still have some gas left in the tank.
I’m really optimistic about owning Lee in my fantasy league’s this year. If he gets playing time in Boston, there’s no reason why not to give him a shot. If we even half of the output of what Lee gave us even two seasons ago, then I’ll be satisfied. The one thing that needs to happen for Lee to have a successful year is obviously for him to stay healthy. He was only able to play 49 games for the Warriors last year, so keep your fingers crossed for a clean slate of health.

His team is winning, and he’s the main reason why. It’s not that Kyrie hasn’t been great, but he obviously isn’t the main reason why Cleveland is winning, and to be fair, the Cavs have been a little disappointing in their championship defense. Another overlooked player is Paul Millsap. Although Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been better statistically speaking, Millsap has been solid and the Hawks have a winning record.

“I don’t think Rice could play in the NBA. He’s at an awkward size where he lacks quickness and ball handling of a 2 and athletic ability of a 3,” Jensen said. “I didn’t think he worked hard enough on his own, but coach Groce seems to be really pushing him, so it’ll be interesting to see what type of profession he has.”

Written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, a black woman, and starring many other black women, Love & Basketball is not just a warm coming-of-age story, but also a soothing relief for gender relations among black men and women. This movie redefines and defies the societal norms placed on women, while also addressing many stigmas that are placed on males and their “maleness”.
