Stuckey started the season on fire then was victimized by a nagging shoulder ailment that affected his production. Now fully healthy, he is lighting up the scoreboard as the Pistons’ “instant offense” off the bench. Over his last five contests, Stuckey is averaging 20 points and shooting over 50 per cent from the field. At 31 per cent ownership (ESPN leagues), he is definitely a bargain.

Since the beginning of the 2013-14 season, we’ve seen George become a bigger threat from behind the arc and improve his shooting from the field as well as the charity stripe. Sure, his assists and rebound numbers are down a tad from a season ago, but his points per game are up. George is taking more shots this season and is also finding a way to get to the free throw line more than he did a year ago. To this point, he is arguably the MVP of the NBA. While that kind of hardware isn’t given out until the end of the season, we’ll gladly give George our Fantasy Stud of the Year award for 2013.

One of the mysteries of the 2013 offseason was why the Warriors weren’t interested in re-signing Jack. In 2012-13, he was the “glue” in Golden State as its sixth man, averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists while hitting 40 per cent of his three-point attempts. Of course, the Warriors surprised Denver in the first round and then took the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the Western Conference semifinals. Jack moved on to Cleveland and is now beginning to gel with his new teammates. He has been very effective over the past several games and is once again proving he’s a Fantasy worthy combo guard.
