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.
So, here is my 2015-16 team preview for the Boston Celtics:
Isaiah Thomas, PG
Thomas was traded to Boston later in the season last year from the Phoenix Suns. In 21 games with the Celtics, he averaged 19.0 points,

5.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game. His stats from his games in Boston are all better than any of his career numbers and he’s primed to be a breakout star this season. His career shooting percentages are both very beneficial for fantasy purpose, he averages 44 percent from the field and a cool 86 percent from the charity stripe. Picking up Thomas in your upcoming drafts will be a very intelligent move because he will be the guy in Boston this year. Can Thomas become the leader of this young Celtics squad is the question on everyone’s mind. He will without a doubt be the shining star on this team and make everyone else around him better. He’s a scoring point guard, but can dish the ball just a well, which makes him an ultra viable fantasy option. I’m almost positive that you will be able to wait and grab Thomas in around the 6th round of your drafts this season. He’s starting fantasy point guard material, so getting him in the middle of your draft will be a steal. Fantasy Prediction for 2015-16 21.0 points, 6.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds Jared Sullinger, PF Sullinger is a guy that I always look at rostering because of his high upside value. Dating back to his Ohio State days, Sullinger has been a consistent big man for his given team. Last year, he averaged 13.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He only averages right at 27 minutes per game, I’d love to see his playing time increase a bit this season. A boost in minutes for this guy could really change his fantasy output for the better. One of the biggest problems in Sullinger’s game is his ability to not stay healthy. He hasn’t made it through an entire season yet without missing game time. Last season, he was only available to play in 58 games, starting in 49 of them. So, on the bright side, he’s not injured he’s in the starting lineup for the Celtics on most nights. Sullinger will be a good power forward option this season, and you should be able to grab him in the 9th or 10th round for 2015-16. Fantasy Prediction for 2015-16 14.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game David Lee, Lee is coming into his 11th year in the league and the last five were spent with the Golden State Warriors.
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.
I’m really optimistic about owning Lee in my fantasy league’s this year. If he gets playing time in Boston, there’s no reason why not to give him a shot. 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.
Fantasy Prediction for 2015-16

game
Soon Jackie Robinson proved himself worthy of playing for the Dodgers. He had to adjust to some new trials and always remember to not show emotion. Jackie had to learn play first base instead of short stop because that was the teams strong point in Peewee Reese. He also could not react to anything. Teammates, other players, and fans will greatly test him, but he must be strong.
His team is winning, and he’s the main reason why. It’s not that Kyrie hasn’t been great, but he obviously isn’t the main reason why Cleveland is winning, and to be fair, the Cavs have been a little disappointing in their championship defense. Another overlooked player is Paul Millsap. Although Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been better statistically speaking, Millsap has been solid and the Hawks have a winning record. R Bholat (): Every upcoming All-Star weekend gives us a few snubs about the big mid-season game that gets fans all over the world ranting to anyone who will listen.

Lee is an excellent general for our newly created Confederacy. He is not only a national hero and in a very positive public light, he is also brilliant and valiant, knowing when to strict vital blows on the enemy. Even considering Lee’s weaknesses, he is still the General we need to lead the Confederacy to victory.
In basketball, the goal is to win the game. To do that your team needs to make more baskets than the opponent. So, I am going to teach you how to shoot correctly just in case you ever find yourself playing in a game. You need to have the correct form, proper stance, jump, and follow through.

James talked about his big game and his expectations for the remainder of the season.” I saw my team struggling to put the ball in the hole, so I know I had to step up, I want to be able to run the floor better as the season progresses.” Next up for Green Run is the recently hot Norview Pilots this Friday at Norview, the game should tip-off at
Not only does the film Love and Basketball demonstrate lot of feminist elements, but it has a lot of black feminist elements. Written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, a black woman, and starring many other black women, Love & Basketball is not just a warm coming-of-age story, but also a soothing relief for gender relations among black men and women. This movie redefines and defies the societal norms placed on women, while also addressing many stigmas that are placed on males and their “maleness”.
“I don’t think Rice could play in the NBA. He’s at an awkward size where he lacks quickness and ball handling of a 2 and athletic ability of a 3,” Jensen said. “I didn’t think he worked hard enough on his own, but coach Groce seems to be really pushing him, so it’ll be interesting to see what type of profession he has.”
There is something beautiful about dance, but there is something more beautiful about dancing with others. When a group of 13 girls and 1 boy can come together from 14 different ways of life and move together as one, then a dance team become more than just a dance team. This was not something that happened over night, it took time, effort and about 7 conversations with our coaches about our values. Without all of those components this team would have never became the successful, fighting, dream team that we became.
