Joakim Noah

Similar to Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah is looking to bounce back after an abysmal and injury-shortened 2015-16 season. He does hold sleeper potential as basketball fans understand Noah’s value when he’s healthy and effective.

He fills the stat sheet with his rebounding, shot-blocking, passing, quality field goal percentage, and scoring (on some nights).

Noah averaged 12.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 2013-14. Even in his down season of 2015-16, he averaged 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.0 block.

Because Noah offers quality production in five categories, his fantasy stock is very high.

Owners are going to have to keep a close eye on him as he has suffered many injuries within the past two years. While Noah is injury-prone, taking a gamble may lead to a huge reward.

Noah Is worth drafting if you are in a 10 team league or greater due to the quality production he provides.
