Path cleared for Conley breakout?: Juan Carlos Navarro has rejoined FC Barcelona after a one-season stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. Navarro has signed a five-year contract, opting to return home instead of continuing in the NBA, Barcelona said Thursday. This clears the way for Mike Conley and Kyle Lowry to get more playing time in 2008-09. (Updated 06/19/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Navarro, regarded as one of Europe's best players, averaged 10.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists during his first year with the Grizzlies and was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team in May. His absence will mean more minutes and thus more Fantasy value for young up-and-coming guards Conley and Lowry. Conley's sleeper potential got a big spike with this news and he'll be worth drafting as a fourth or fifth guard with the upside to outproduce his draft value. (Updated 06/19/2008).
