Each Wednesday we’ll take a look at the hottest free-agent
pick-ups from around the National Basketball Association to help
you in setting your upcoming lineup. Some players might have
short-term value, while others might be moving up to have some
long-term value. We’ll sift through the names so you can make the
best choice for your team.
Steve Blake, PG, L.A. Lakers: The Lakers are
expected to be without PG Steve Nash (shin)
anywhere from seven to 10 days now, so Blake will have some
short-term usefulness while he is starting. He doesn’t score a ton,
but he will pick up a decent amount of assists and steals while
turning the ball over very little. In addition, he has four
3-pointers over his past two games. Again, once Nash is back,
Blake’s Fantasy appeal will be negligible, but right now he is
worth a look as a fourth or fifth starting Fantasy guard.
