The Memphis Grizzlies are confident, yet realistic. They've got their series with the Los Angeles Clippers back to even with a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday.
Mike Conley has improved upon his numbers in each of his four NBA seasons. If that trend continues, Conley could find himself among the elite guards in Fantasy by the end of the season. While he is not a standout in any particular category, he can contribute significant numbers in two of the more valuable categories in Fantasy hoops: steals and dimes. He career highs in both categories (1.8 steals, 6.5 assists) last season and should approach 15 points per game this season if he stays on the same track of improvement he has followed. View him as a safe choice around the fifth round of any Fantasy format. (Updated 8/28/11)
