Fantasy Analysis
Garnett played his first NBA season alongside two top NBA stars -- Paul Pierce and Ray Allen -- and all three players saw a decline in scoring numbers, as expected. Now that they have to share the scoring load, there just isn't enough touches for Garnett to average 20-and-10 as he had in each of his previous nine seasons. Garnett remains an elite Fantasy forward when you consider all that he offers (blocks, steals and field-goal percentage), but Fantasy owners will have to temper expectations for all of the Boston Three Party members.
