Carmelo Anthony

New York Knicks fans remember the phenomenal season Carmelo Anthony had after playing for Team USA in the London Olympics prior to the 2012-13 season. He ended up winning the scoring title by averaging 28.7 points per game.

The last two times Anthony came from the Olympics, his team went on to win 54 wins due to his phenomenal play. Anthony is coming from the 2016 Rio Olympics.

This may translate to an outstanding NBA season for Anthony in 2016-17.

Anthony is one of the top sources for scoring while being a solid source for 3-point field goals made, rebounds, and steals. His ability to score 20+ points on a consistent basis makes him an asset to any fantasy basketball team.
