Jarrett Allen

With the way Allen has improved steadily over his three NBA seasons, it seems at this point that the only thing preventing him from taking another big step forward is DeAndre Jordan's presence on the Nets. After Jordan opted out of the Orlando bubble last season, Allen averaged 13.4 points, 13.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game over the course of seeding play and the Nets' brief playoff stint -- a notable uptick from his season-long line of 11.1 points, 9.6 boards and 1.3 blocks. With Jordan back from his illness and Kevin Durant set to make his Nets debut after missing all of last year, Allen will again be stuck with minutes that rarely climb out of the mid-20s. That won't stop him from averaging close to a double-double with a good number of blocks, so there's still plenty of value here for fantasy purposes -- just not as much as Allen might like with restricted free agency coming up next summer (assuming he doesn't receive an extension before this season begins). It's also worth noting that Allen's free-throw shooting has declined steadily since his rookie year, from a respectable 77.6 percent all the way down to last season's ugly 63.3 percent. If that trend holds, it'll hurt his fantasy value in category leagues.
