Bleacher Report: Week 1 fantasy review

The NBA season finally got underway and some surprising players are already putting up monster stats. Scroll down for Week 2 pickups. While LeBron, Kobe, Dirk are putting up top 15 stats, there are some other real surprises.

Stars with an awesome week

Carmelo Anthony, F, Denver You probably saw Melo shoot the lights out in all three games so far. He shot 54 percent from the floor, 88 percent on free throws and 37 PPG will get it done. He's also getting good rebound and assist numbers against just six turnovers. Rajon Rondo, PG, Boston He has 47 assists plus 10 steals in four games. Add 56 percent field goals and 20 rebounds to that and Rondo is really rewarding those who drafted him early. Andrea Bargnani, F/C, Toronto Thus far, he's putting up 22 PPG, more than two threes, with awesome efficiency numbers. Look for this to continue all season. Capable of being a top-30 fantasy player.

Shooting Stars

Channing Frye, F, Phoenix Ridiculous shooting numbers so far, going 6-for-10 in threes in one game. You definitely want him on your team, and he's only owned in 57 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He can single-handedly carry your team's three-point need all season and add in some decent rebounding numbers. Think last season's Troy Murphy with more threes, but half the rebounds. Danilo Gallinari, G/F, New York Even more threes than Frye, yet only 70 percent owned so far. He should be owned in all leagues simply because the volume of threes he'll be taking (and making). Definitely capable of shooting 42 percent from long range, but he's one-dimensional and won't contribute elsewhere. His shooting percentage is bad for a forward. Andray Blatche, F, Washington Draining mid-range jumpers at a 72 percent clip. That'll definitely slide, but he should be a good source of blocks and rebounds as long as either Caron Butler or Antawn Jamison aren't in the lineup.

Monster Numbers

Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Only 80 percent owned? Pick him up NOW! RIGHT NOW! There were concerns about Gasol getting enough touches with all the newcomers on the Memphis squad, but he's put up 20 PPG plus 11 RPG in three games. He'll shoot an awesome percentage from the stripe, and the field goal percentage is likely to be 55 percent-plus. He'll provide double-digit scoring and rebounding in addition to the great percentages. Turnovers might be a concern, but it should be less than three per game. Chris Kaman, C, L.A. Clippers Perhaps getting overshadowed by other top performers this week. He has 22 PPG, 10 RPG, 1.8 BPG with career averages of 50 percent field goals and 74 percent free throws. He's certainly capable of 15 and 12 with two blocks as seen in 2007-08 season. It's just a matter of if he's interested in basketball. Right now, the answer is yes. Marcus Camby, C, L.A. Clippers Puts up some gaudy scoring numbers with his usual boards and blocks. Sell high soon, as come December he won't be getting the same playing time.

Youngsters taking flight

Louis Williams, G, Philadelphia Not getting the same attention as Frye or Danilo, but he put up big scoring numbers with just two turnovers in three games. He won't continue to shoot 63 percent, but 17 PPG-plus and 1.5-plus steals can be had. Check if he's still available! Aaron Brooks, PG, Houston Shouldering the scoring load for Houston, he has 22 PPG and eight APG so far. We should expect 18 PPG, 6.5 APG this season. Look for his shooting average to be closer to 43 percent than the current 49, though. He'll be a great source of threes and steals all season, but you have to take his turnovers too, which will hover over three.

Solid Pickups

Ryan Gomes, F, Minnesota Very solid for points, rebounds and threes. Won't hurt your team in the shooting categories. Definitely deserves a spot in any standard 12-team roto league. Brendan Haywood, C, Washington Should be owned already. Playing the Pacers and Suns back-to-bacl late in the week. Should definitely be a good play for those two. Ben Wallace, C, Detroit Getting lots of playing time. The steals, blocks and rebounds are there. The free throws ... well ... have never been there. Cory Brewer, G/F, Minnesota Managers looking for steals and blocks should take a look at Brewer. He'll even throw in a few threes to help.
