Fantasy Analysis
Gooden continues to start in Andrew Bogut's absence and has played very well since being inserted into the starting lineup. Gooden has scored over 20 points in four of his last seven contests and is averaging 18.6 points and just under 7.0 rebounds over that stretch. He should continue to see around 30-35 minutes per contest, so leave the 30-year-old active in the majority of formats moving forward. (Updated 02/08/2012).

Gooden’s first season in Milwaukee was certainly a frustrating one as injuries limited him to a career-low 34 games last year. The veteran played 15 of his 35 games during October and November before pretty much sitting out the next three months as he battled with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. However, was able to get back on the court in April and finished strong, averaging a season-high 12.9 points during the final month of the season. He also recorded his first career triple-double with 15 points, 13 assists and 13 boards back on Aril 9. Gooden has the ability to post close to a double-double per outing, but his left foot issues severely hampered his production. He is normally fairly durable – averaging 72 games per season prior to 2011-12 – so could be in line for a nice bounce-back season if he is able to stay on the court. He is once again expected to be the starting power forward entering training camp and may even see a few minutes at center every now and again. While there are still some questions surrounding his troublesome left foot, Gooden’s ability to score and rebound make him a solid low-end Fantasy forward in most formats. Target him in the later rounds on Draft Day. (Updated 8/28/11)
