- Stoudemire said he wants to talk with coach Mike Woodson and the rest of the coaching staff about his role next season, ESPN New York reports.
  Recommendation: Stoudemire had another injury-filled campaign and played only 29 games in the regular season as a result, many of which he came off the bench. He averaged 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks a game, all of which were either his career-low or very close to it. Although he returned in the second round of the playoffs, he played only limited minutes off the bench. Stoudemire's fantasy value has really decreased over the last couple of seasons, and it could continue to plummet if he can't post a healthy 2013-14 campaign.

- Chandler had a strong regular season for the Knicks as he averaged 10.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks a game over 66 games. He struggled in the playoffs as he averaged 5.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks a game.
  Recommendation: Although he struggled in the playoffs, Chandler provided fantasy owners with plenty of value as he averaged a double-double over the course of a season for the second time in his career. He will anchor the Knicks' defense again next season and should approach averaging a double-double again while providing a steady source of blocks.

- Barron played in 12 regular season games, only one of which was for the Knicks. He did not appear in any games during the Knicks' playoff run.
  Recommendation: Barron has played for six teams since the start of the 2010-11 season and isn't much more than a player who provides depth on the bench. Regardless of where he plays next season, he isn't likely to warrant fantasy consideration.

- Randolph was held to just two points on 1-for-8 shooting with seven rebounds and a block in 28 minutes in Sunday's Game 1 blowout loss against the Spurs.
  Recommendation: The Spurs worked very hard to contain Randolph, after he demonstrated how effective he can be in the final two games of the Grizzlies' previous series. He missed a couple easy shots that he usually makes, and was visibly frustrated, but we would expect him to bounce back to some degree in Game 2 and especially when the series moves to Memphis.

- Lee plans to have surgery to repair a torn right hip flexor in the coming weeks, the Associated Press reports. He is expected to be ready for training camp.
  Recommendation: Aside from the injury, Lee had a splendid season, averaging 18.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in 79 games. He's developed into a nice low-post scorer with a mid-range game and an ability to draw fouls. He's often knocked for playing sub-standard defense, but there's no doubting his impact offensively.

- Ezeli appeared in 78 games (41 starts) during the 2012-14 season, averaging 2.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 14.4 minutes per game. He also played in every playoff game.
  Recommendation: Andrew Bogut's recovery from ankle surgery was delayed well into the regular season, opening up some minutes in the frontcourt for Ezeli during his rookie season. He was largely a defensive presence with good shot blocking skills (2.4 per 36 minutes). If the Warriors get a full season of health from Bogut, there will be a decrease in Ezeli's playing time in 2013-14.

- Camby played only 24 regular season games for the Knicks and averaged 1.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks a game. He barely saw any action in the playoffs as he averaged just over one minute over three games played.
  Recommendation: Camby was injured much of the season again and has struggled to stay healthy over the last few seasons. He is under contract with the Knicks for two more seasons, but is unlikely to provide much fantasy value considering he will have a limited role off the bench even when he is healthy.

- Splitter was not much of a factor in Sunday's Game 1 win, scoring just one point with two assists and four fouls in 17 minutes.
  Recommendation: Splitter could not hang with Marc Gasol, and the Spurs got much better production from Matt Bonner (12 points in 17 minutes) off the bench. Splitter should continue to start, but this could continue to be a bad matchup for him.

- Martin played 18 regular season games for the Knicks and averaged 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks a game while shooting 60.2 percent from the field.
  Recommendation: The Knicks signed Martin during the season when they experienced multiple injuries to their front line and it turned out to be an excellent signing. He provided them with defense and toughness up front, something they greatly lacked. Martin will be a free agent this summer and will likely only have limited fantasy value next season no matter where he signs.

- Hibbert scored 21 points (6-13 FG, 9-12 FT) to go with 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five blocks in 42 minutes of action in a Game 6 win against the Knicks.
  Recommendation: Hibbert has now hit double-digits over his last two games, and it is encouraging to see him get out of his slump. The Pacers will need him to take control in the post against the Heat.

- Bogut said his ankle got sore during the playoffs and got worse during the series with San Antonio when there were fewer days between games, the San Jose Mercury News reports. He'll enter the final year of his contract in 2013-14.
  Recommendation: Bogut, who underwent ankle surgery back in April 2012, ramped up slowly upon his return to the court. There was a stretch of time when Bogut was healthy, giving the Warriors big minutes and making an impact on games, but the ankle has remained problematic. The hope is that with smart conditioning in the offseason, and more time removed from surgery, Bogut can regain his offensive game while impacting the defensive end of the floor more consistently and for longer stretches.

- Garnett will not require off-season surgery to correct his foot/ankle issues, the Boston Herald reports.
  Recommendation: Garnett dealt with a number of injuries last season and rarely played at 100 percent. The Celtics' medical staff believes rest will alleviate the veteran's issues, but only time will tell whether that will indeed be the case.

- Duncan scored 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-5 FT) and added six rebounds, two assists, and three blocks en route to Thursday's Game 6 closeout victory against the Warriors.
  Recommendation: Duncan has displayed his dominance all throughout his career, and this year is no exception. While the Spurs' window is possibly closing sooner rather than later, Duncan appears to be giving his all for perhaps one last chance to add to his championship total.
