Every team in the NBA is currently hovering around 10 games played. The season is undeniably young with a lot of room for evolution, but trends are starting to emerge nonetheless.

We enter every season with a set of expectations. We expect some players to break out and others to break down. After all the offseason player movement, we try to predict how players will perform on their new teams and how their new teammates will be affected by the changing rotation. We take guesses at how new coaches will run their teams and how it will impact their players’ development. We count the days until certain players come back from injury and pray that others don’t get hurt.

Then, usually after a handful of games, we abandon old ideas and swear we never thought them and try to jump on the bandwagon of new ones. Players rise and fall, others get hurt or disappear, and some guys we never saw coming become stars (sure, go ahead and pretend you had talkin’ ‘bout practice). It’s a prime time to make moves while others are still adjusting to the changes.

Get ahead of the game.

Buy Eric Bledsoe

Find a way to get basketballmonster.com’s player ranker, largely due to the fact that he only played 20.4 minutes off the pine. His per-36 numbers were good enough for 25th overall. “Free Bledsoe” campaigns ran rampant as we all dreamed of a situation where he could get starter minutes and truly shine.

Our wishes came true this offseason when he was traded to the lowly Phoenix Suns, a team that was intent on building around the player nicknamed “Mini-"Shaqtin’ a Fool”.

McGee’s dichotomous nature has always made him both a pleasure and a headache to own. The constant question of whether to add or drop him has been answered for the foreseeable future at least, as he has suffered a stress fracture in his left tibia and is out indefinitely. You can safely drop him from your team if you’re still holding on.

McGee’s injury has freed up space in a crowded Nuggets frontcourt and has brought clarity to the roles of several big men.

basketballmonster.com’s player ranker, averaging 15.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.7 threes while shooting .504 from the line and .742 from the line. He came into the season ranked outside of most people’s top 100, but has shattered all expectations in the first 11 games of the season.

Many people are screaming that this is the ultimate sell-high moment, but I’m preaching patience. Yes, the .475 shooting from three is probably unsustainable (he’s a .331 shooter from distance for his career), but there’s no real reason to think the other numbers will drop. Most of his per-36 stats are on par with where they were last year, he’s simply benefiting from more minutes on a relatively shallow Sixers team.

Word out of Philly is that basketballmonster.com for his last three seasons in Utah and currently sits at 37 this year, despite a few bad games. Buy low opportunities like this won’t come along very often, so see if you can pull off a deal.

Drop/Sell Kevin Garnett

It’s sad to say this, but basketballmonster.com’s 7th-ranked player over the last two seasons and will be the central part of Charlotte’s offense when he can get back onto the court. He signed a monster 3-year deal worth $41 million in the offseason and he will be putting up huge stat lines again soon to justify it.

Hold on if you have him or buy in if you don’t. He’s good bet to put up early-round value when he plays.
