Xavier Henry

Xavier Henry is entering his fifth season in the NBA and posted career highs in all fantasy relevant categories last season. He averaged 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 0.7 three-pointers in 21 minutes per game through 43 games. Henry also shot career-best percentages, going at 42 percent from the field on 8.0 attempts and 66 percent from the line on 4.1 attempts. The major limiting factor in his production was his health, however. Henry sustained injuries to his knee and wrist last season and has yet to play more than 50 games in a season in his NBA career. With a new coach in Byron Scott, Henry will playing for his third coach in three seasons and will be looking for minutes on the wing behind Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, and Wesley Johnson. A former lottery pick, Henry showed an improved mentality in regard to distributing the ball, increasing his assist percentage from 3.2 percent to 8.8 percent, as he ran the offense at times last season. From a fantasy perspective, Henry's ability to contribute is limited due to the players above him on the depth chart, but if injuries beset Bryant, Young, or Johnson, Henry is a sneaky scoring threat that will likely be available on the waiver-wire.
