Indiana F Danny Granger was a bit of a disappointment from a Fantasy standpoint during the 2010-11 campaign. Granger's scoring was down nearly 3.5 points from the previous season as he finished with an average of 20.5 ppg -- his lowest output since 2007. Part of the reason for that is the Pacers are trying to become more balanced offensively. In years past, Granger had been forced to carry the team on his back, however, Indiana had five players average in double-digits last season. This year, the Pacers signed F David West, who could certainly eat into Granger's production. Despite his scoring dip, Granger was still able to fill up the box score on a nightly basis, as he averaged more than five rebounds and two assists for the fourth straight season. While Granger might not be able to get his scoring back into the mid-20s, his production still ranks among the higher-end forward options, especially in category-based formats. As long as owners can deal with his high turnover rate, Granger is worth an early-round selection in all formats on Draft Day. (Updated 12/19/11)
