Here’s the latest Fantasy Basketball Roundtable, this week on Points in the Paint, titled: They’re Going to Bounce Back.

Here’s what Patrick and I said about the guys who are currently under-performing, but will bounce back. There is more from other guys if you click on that link above.

Derrick Rose – First the ankle, then the Negro. Rose seems to have recovered for the most part from his injury, so now the Bulls just need to get a coach who realizes that he’s their best player and should have the ball in his hands as much as possible (especially during crunch time). The Bulls have supposedly set a mid-January deadline for VDN to turn things around, so maybe he’ll figure it out by then. If so, more power to him – and by extension, to Rose. If not, hopefully they can find someone who doesn’t know where their head is because it’s so far up their posterior they just feel constipated all the time.

Tony Parker – Nagging injuries have slowed Parker down to begin the year and as a result he’s averaging only 16.4 points and 5.7 assists in 31 minutes a game. That is a good 5.5 points less than the 22 he averaged last season in 3 more minutes a game. The emergence of George Hill as a capable backup may mean that Parker’s 2008-09 was a career year in terms of minutes and production. However, his peripheral shooting percentages have been in line with his career average and now that Parker is healthy he should be primed for a solid second half of the season. Expect him to be over 18 points and 6 assists during 2010.
