Dirk appears to be more machine than man as he continues to put up ridiculous fantasy numbers season after season, despite his advancing age.
Analysis: Once again Dirk is easily a top 10 fantasy pick in all leagues. He’s getting older but hasn’t lost any of his effectiveness. I believe if Dirk wanted to he could hit his fade-away jumper until he was in his 50s, nobody can defend it. While Dirk missed a stretch of this season and came back a little slow, he seems to be back to full speed once again. Dirk’s points are down a little but he has made improvements in other facets of his game that make up for the little scoring drop. He is shooting career highs in both field goal percentage and three point percentage, at 52% and 43% respectively. With Dallas tied for the second best record in the league, and Dirk having arguably his best teammates ever, he is more motivated than ever. Dallas is set to make a legitimate championship run this season and Dirk will take the lead just as he normally does.
Projection: Dirk continues to get it done in a variety of ways and you should capitalize on his stats if you’re lucky enough to get him. Tonight Dirk destroyed the Raptors shooting 11-20, good for 31 points, and grabbed 13 boards. Pretty good for a 32 year old European.
