Fantasy Analysis
Hamilton has been banged up in his first season in Chicago and there is still no timetable for his return. The Bulls have already said that he will sit out until completely healthy so keep an eye on his progress going forward. The 33-year-old has been able to supply some secondary scoring behind Derrick Rose thus far but until he is able to get back on the court, leave Hamilton reserved in deeper Fantasy formats.

01/26/2012 00:17 Courtside Seat: Working out the kinks
The Lakers are struggling right now on offense, and Fantasy owners are suffering. Jamey Eisenberg discusses that and more in his latest Courtside Seat.
In one move, veteran G Richard Hamilton went from the worst Fantasy environment (Detroit) to one of the best (Chicago). Hamilton was waived by the Pistons in the offseason after he clashed with then-coach John Kuester last year that resulted in his removal from the team's rotation. He resurfaced in March to prove that he could still be entrusted with a high shot volume and he could return to Fantasy prominence again this season. A season removed from averaging 18.1 points per game, Hamilton will certainly benefit along the perimeter because of the slashing presence of Bulls G Derrick Rose. If Hamilton returns to a prominent role, he can once again be trusted to contribute solid numbers from beyond the arc and is worthy of a selection in the middle rounds of 2011-12 Fantasy drafts.
