"Everyone talks about offseason changes in fantasy basketball and how they will pertain to the people who moved elsewhere, such as Elton Brand, Baron Davis and Ron Artest. But all too often, the people who welcomed the new, stud player to the fold are overlooked. These players are forced to adjust, and not all of them do, at least not right away.

Each time I watch the 76ers play, it's pretty clear Andre Iguodala isn't sure what he's doing out there on the court. He doesn't look like the same player who was a fantasy stud in recent seasons. He's unsure of his shot and when to use it, and of where he's supposed to be. Simply put, he's kind of a mess, and this is a versatile swingman who welcomed a 20-and-10 post player. I thought he'd score less, but still improve.

Meanwhile, I heard the snickers when I kept drafting Chris Kaman. Sure, I was aware Marcus Camby filled out the "twin" in the new Los Angeles twin towers, and it had to affect Kaman some, but how much? Certainly not enough to let him slip outside the top 75. I wasn't all that concerned, and so far it seems I didn't need to be.

Anyway, I got to thinking about some of the players who were supposed to gain -- or slip -- statistically because someone new came into the fold. It's like last week, when Allen Iverson and Chauncey Billups traded places. All of a sudden Denver's J.R. Smith would be a star and became the most added player ever, right? He got dropped in two of my ESPN leagues over the weekend, and nobody seems to be in a great hurry to pick him up.

Andre Iguodala, SG/SF, 76ers: The 76ers are off to a bad start, but we can't blame it all on Brand. Through six games Philly's leading scorer from the past two seasons was sitting at 11 points per game and shooting 37 percent from the field. The other numbers were fine, but top-30 players need to score more, unless they're Camby or Jason Kidd. It's not only Iggy; Andre Miller is getting fewer assists, and the only player exceeding expectations is second-year man Thaddeus Young, a future star. I think Iguodala will eventually get used to having Brand's significant post presence, but he's not a 3-point specialist, either. Iguodala should get more aggressive and get to the free-throw line more. Heck, Brand isn't doing what we all thought, either. Philly's schedule eases soon, and the stats should reflect it. Brand is going to get his 18 points, 10 rebounds and 1.5 blocks (let's not get too greedy), Miller should get a safe 13 points and 6 assists, and Iguodala should net 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. We'd gladly take that.

Chris Kaman, C, Clippers: There are only so many rebounds and blocks available, and asking for Kaman to duplicate his 2007-08 season was going to be tough in the first place. You might not be aware, but the guy with the crazy hair averaged 15.7 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.8 blocks last season. Those are serious, serious numbers. Adding Camby to the fold made it very difficult to do th
