An Old Brand Name is Atop the Fantasy Rankings
Through the first 5 games of the season, the former 1st overall pick has averaged 18 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 1.8 blocks, while shooting 56% from the field. Yes the steals will flatten out as the season progresses, but there is no reason to believe that his points, rebounds, and blocks subside. Before his injuries, Brand had averaged 20-10-2 over 4 consecutive years between 2003 and 2006.
