Fantasy Analysis
For the second consecutive season, Billups averaged exactly 17.0 ppg. He added 6.8 apg and 2.7 rpg, only slightly down from his 2006-07 totals. Billups continues to be a consistent Fantasy guard, but at 31 he can no longer be expected to surpass his totals. Instead, it's very likely his numbers will start to decrease slightly. Fantasy owners should still view him as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy guard, just understand that it's more likely he'll under-perform than it is that he'll exceed his draft value. (Updated 05/21/2008).
