The following five guys have left Dirk, Lee, Zeebo, and even the Manimal in the dust so far this February. Find out who they are.
Note: All of the following stats are based
on the last five games of each player as computed by HoopsStats.com.
5. Ersan Ilyasova (MIL) – 14.8ppg, 8.4rpg,
1.8spg, 1.0bpg, .508 FG%, .500 3pt%, 21.0 EFF
The Bucks
have been on a slump, winning just 2 of their last 10, but nobody can lay the
blame on Ilyasova, who seems to have regained the mojo that made him a great
Fantasy pick-up last year. The Turkish Delight is pretty much being a monster

at his three-point percentage for heaven’s sake!
Ersan Ilyasova is a stat-demon once again!

4. Nene (WAS) – 14.2ppg, 8.6rpg, 3.4apg,

than 20 wins. Well, outside of Nikola V...
