Fantasy Basketball Week 6: Waiver Wire Pickups

by Stephen Kersey on December 2nd, 2007

PG Jason Williams, Miami Heat
Williams got benched earlier in the week, causing a lot of fantasy owners to drop him. If he’s on your league’s waiver wire, pick him back up. Since going to the bench, Williams has played great. He’s still getting starter level minutes and should get his starting job back soon enough.

SG Carlos Delfino, Toronto Raptors
Delfino has quietly been on fire as of late. He has scored at least 13 points and pulled down at least six rebounds in each of his last four games, including 24 points and eight rebounds against the Cleveland Cavaliers recently. While he hasn’t started a game all season, Delfino is becoming a big part of the rotation for the Raptors.

PG Sebastian Telfiar, Minnesota Timberwolves
With both Randy Foye and Marko Jaric out with injuries, Telfair is forced to play major minutes at point guard for Minnesota. Telfair has responded with some big games recently. In three out of his last four games, Telfair has scored at least 16 points. Telfair has always had the talent, he just needs to understand the mental part of the game.

PG/SG Daequan Cook, Miami Heat
If you want to take a flier on a rookie, especially in a dynasty format, consider Cook. In the limited time he’s played for the Heat, he’s been very good at scoring the ball. He’s averaging over ten points per game despite playing less than 20 minutes per contest. While he’s not a fantasy option right now because he still racks up the DNP-CD’s, he’s definitely a youngster to keep an eye on.
