Alright, sports fans, I have for you all another fantasy team preview for the 2015-16 NBA season. This article is loaded with some high upside players who should be on your fantasy basketball rosters this season. The Celtics are one of the NBA’s most beloved franchises and they’re finally getting back into the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Just like the man he was named after, Isaiah Thomas is going to be a great point guard in the NBA. As a whole, Boston has a young group of guys who are primed to get the job done this season.

This season, he’ll be suiting up in Celtic green, looking to become fantasy relevant once again. Last season, the Warriors had stayed away from using Lee, only giving him 18.4 minutes per game. The lack of minutes really made his numbers decline during the 2014-15 season. During his career, Lee has averaged 14.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. His stats were much more solid a few seasons ago, however, he does still have some gas left in the tank.

If we even half of the output of what Lee gave us even two seasons ago, then I’ll be satisfied. The one thing that needs to happen for Lee to have a successful year is obviously for him to stay healthy. He was only able to play 49 games for the Warriors last year, so keep your fingers crossed for a clean slate of health.
