Chris Kaman is two games back into action for the New Orleans Hornets after trade talk speculation shelved the big man for nearly two weeks.
Analysis: Whether Chris Kaman is traded sooner or later makes little difference in his fantasy value. Kaman is a must own yet he is available in over forty percent of fantasy leagues. The power forward/center really does offer the rebounding and shot blocking you need from a fantasy big man. Kaman is averaging a solid 7.1 rebounds per game to go along with 1.4 blocks per game in just twenty-three minutes of floor time per night.
What makes Chris Kaman an unusual fantasy big man is the free throw shooting. Kaman is shooting 82% from the stripe this year and 74% for his career. He may not be a lock for fifteen points every night but the increase in minutes will help his value out a ton but it all really depends on what team he lands on. In Kaman’s two games back he’s put up 13.5 PPG, 10.5 RPG and 2.5 BPG. It really is the last call on Kaman as I do not see him being available in any leagues this time next week.
