It's easy to overrated rookies in Fantasy basketball. More than that, it's fun to do.
Sure, you could spend a mid-round pick on Jrue Holiday or LaMarcus Aldridge, and pretty much know what you're going to get. What's fun about reaching for young players, especially rookies, is they can be anything.
You haven't yet seen a rookie fail yet, which means you can see him succeeding in a thousand different ways. They are the ultimate upside plays, and because Fantasy sports is all about finding players who can exceed their acquisition price, targeting rookies is one way to find success.
