Fantasy Analysis
Whether Mozgov sees five minutes for 25 it doesn't seem to matter much lately in terms of his Fantasy value. Mozgov is averaging 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds over his last five games and is seeing sporadic minutes. He has low-end Fantasy value right now. (Updated 03/26/2012).

Once Mozgov was traded from the Knicks to the Nuggets mid-season, his playing time went from 13.5 minutes per game to just six. He went from averaging four points and three boards to just 2.5 and 1.5 over 11 games with the Nuggets. As long as Nene is in town, Mozgov is going to come off the bench for the Nuggets. That said, coach George Karl expects much bigger things from the 25-year-old Russian entering 2011-12. Karl has mentioned Mozgov could get around 25 minutes per contest if he shows improvement in his second NBA season. The 7-foot center has high upside and displayed that at times with the Knicks as he entered last year with plenty of sleeper appeal. That is exactly how he’ll enter this season. He comes with major upside as a Fantasy sleeper, but there is still a lot of unknowns when it comes to Mozgov. The uncertainty creates intriguing value at such a thin position, however, and makes Mozgov worthy of a late-round Fantasy flier on Draft Day. (Updated 8/28/11)
