That said, the Baron is still Le Baron... 8 AST, 3 REB, 1-2 FG3's, some TOs, and STLs... you've seen it all before. The only possible reason to worry is that the Warriors mihgt want to rest Davis a littleto ensure that he doesn't jeopardize future seasons -- and with them the dream that the GSW franchise might actually be able to win in that same future. He will of course play enough minutes to be the same effective fantasy baller that made the cover of NBA Street V3. But The State is not exactly in the position (13 games out of a playoff spot) where they're going to play the hell out of him in an attempt (most likely in vain) to get a playoff spot.

Fantasy Impact

Baron, like Jason Kidd, will be a player to file under: upside w/ significant risk next year. He's #14 according to Yahoo, but only 43 (4th round) on BasketballMonster. With offense to Yahoo, I tend to like BM's ratings.
