Metta World Peace was a champion with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Interview: Metta World Peace

The man formerly known as Ron Artest was a fierce competitor over his 17-year career with six different teams (that included two stints with the Lakers), enjoying probably his finest season in 2003-04, when in addition to taking home Defensive Player of the Year honours, he was an All-Star, made the All-NBA third team and enjoyed his first of two appearances on the NBA All-Defensive First Team. For those of you too young to have seen World Peace play, here’s a taste in the video below.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is still producing off the bench for the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Wire Troll: Nickeil Alexander-Walker Progressing for Pelicans

Another player that has yet to really work his way onto the Fantasy radar, Trent’s offensive contributions have been inconsistent recently, but in scoring 18 points last Saturday, he showed what he’s capable of. Even though he’s been used exclusively off the bench so far this season, he’s been doing a better job of getting to the line. Trent has a golden opportunity to step up as Portland’s third scoring option if he can just bring it on a more regular basis.

Keldon Johnson looks like a breakout star for the San Antonio Spurs.

The Wire Troll: Keldon Johnson Emerges in San Antonio

The Spurs’ 2019 first round pick (29th overall) had been off the Fantasy radar until he exploded in the season opener for 16 points, five boards, three assists and three steals. He showed some promise in limited action as a rookie last season, shooting well from the line, but if he’s regularly going to get the kind of minutes he saw in the opener as the surprise starter, he’ll be Fantasy gold. Johnson is athletic, has good size as a wingman and is a strong defender. Coming out of Kentucky, his jump shot, ball handling and passing needed some work, but it’s clear he’s ready to come into his own.

Caleb Martin could be useful for the Charlotte Hornets.

The Wire Troll: Caleb Martin Could See Extra PT in Charlotte

Martin is an excellent free throw shooter, and the fact he’s shown more aptitude to get to the line with his aggressive play, and has been shooting better from the field in preseason are good signs. His ceiling isn’t high, so he’s likely best employed in deep formats, but he’s athletic, is decently size for a wing player and has speed.
