Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
2003
Cato will be the default starter at center in Orlando with Tony Battie and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje backing him up. Offense flows through other sources, like Grant Hill, Steve Francis and Dwight Howard, so Cato will do the basketball things that complement an offense. If he can crack the 30-mpg mark, Cato will give you value in rebounds and blocked shots. For added incentive, Cato is entering the final year of his contract.
Cato will not qualify right away, but he figures to get the most starts at center for the Magic. He never lived up to the hype of replacing Hakeem Olajuwon in Houston and struggled to find consistent playing time. The backcourt with Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley will likely generate most of the offense, and the team will want to work No. 1 overall pick Dwight Howard into the flow, so Cato won’t be getting a chance to shoot much. He could crack the seven-rebound barrier and be a source of blocks (1.4 bpg in 2003-04), but there isn’t a lot of fantasy value wrapped up in Cato.
Will backup Yao Ming, chip in a few rebounds and some blocks. If Yao were to go down, Cato would be a marginal spot starter in deep leagues.
