04/04/2012 09:21 Waiver Wire: Who can help bring a title?
For many leagues it all comes down to the next week. Whch available players will help you just enough to secure a title in your league? Our Ed Gauna is here to help with his look at the waiver wire.
The Pistons are one of the hardest teams to forecast heading into the 2011-12 regular season, but Tayshaun Prince should be easy to peg. His numbers have not varied much at all over the last seven seasons and even with a new coaching staff in place Prince should be in line for just about the same numbers again this season. Since 2004, Prince has averaged 13-14 points, 4-5 rebounds and 2-3 assists per game without fail with minimal variations in shooting percentages, blocks, steals or turnovers. Go ahead and look at his numbers. Like what you see? Barring a drastic change in scenario, that is just about what you are going to get. Expect him to once again serve as a viable low-end play in most standard formats as long as he can remain healthy. He won't be a difference maker, but his reliability can be very useful to Fantasy owners. (Updated 8/28/11)
