Scott likes Sebastian Telfair's chances to put up big fantasy numbers in Minnesota this season.

With only two days in the books, we do not have a large sample from which to judge – but has that ever stopped us from judging? Not a chance. Last week brought us a few big men to prod; this week, we are going small.

Sebastian Telfair, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

I am willing to bet that most casual fans do not even know that Telfair is on the Timberwolves this season. Coming into the league as a heralded high school athlete with a shoe deal, Telfair has failed to amass any sort of success anywhere outside of a local rap sheet. Surrounded by underachievement and legal allegations, Telfair will begin a new tour of duty, back out West. Oh, and did I mention that he’s the opening night starting point guard?

Randy Foye, second-year guard and frequent member of many “breakout candidate” lists this season will miss several weeks with an injury to his left knee. A stress reaction has him currently listed as “out indefinitely,” which is never a good sign. What is even worse is that Minnesota has not had a solid point guard option on their team in years and were hoping for Foye to be the answer. With that obviously on hold, they will turn to Telfair who has a ton to prove.

The Timberwolves offense will start and end with Al Jefferson – leaving Telfair with the freedom to not force shots and become more comfortable. He is being asked to be a pass-first guard as he is surrounded by what is the future of the franchise. What many are forgetting is that this kid will not be 23 until this summer, so there is plenty of time for him to turn things around. There is just no doubt that the window is slowly closing.

There is no guarantee that Telfair flourishes in the system. However, if you are hurting at point guard, and have extra room on the bench, he is a low-risk addition that may pay dividends for the next few weeks. One thing is certain. If he blows up on opening night, there is a decent chance you will miss out. You know you’re itching to pull the trigger – just do it.

Linas Kleiza, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets

If chicks love the long ball, Linas Kleiza is definitely getting Peppermint Patty. Now if you read beyond the simply awful Peanuts reference, you will see that Kleiza is about a game away from taking the starting shooting guard position for the Denver Nuggets.

Kleiza had flashes of brilliance last season, nailing multiple three-point attempts on more than one occasion. What he does not do from downtown, he can do from the free throw line, making 85 percent of his attempts from the charity stripe in 2006-07. With J.R. Smith focusing more on the club scene than the hardwood, Kleiza got his shot off the bench – and did he ever.

In 27 minutes of opening night play, Kleiza went 6-12 from the floor with 10 of said attempts being from beyond the arc. The shooting guard sank five of the attempts en route to 18 points, six boards and three assists. Yes, he was only 1-of-4 from the line, but I would take a full season of analysis over the one game of poor luck.

When J.R. Smith returns from his suspension, there will be a time share for the ages. But, if you’re in the need for some three-point shooting and the Brent Barrys of the world are already rostered, Kleiza should be able to answer those needs even in limited minutes. If one thing is certain in Denver, George Karl and J.R. Smith do not get along. This should be all Kleiza needs to get over 25 minutes a night and drop at least one trey in the meantime.
