A season after he averaged a career-high 18.1 points, Leandro Barbosa saw his scoring decline almost three points per game to 15.6. He also saw his assists drop from 4.0 per game to 2.6. Barbosa appeared in all 82 games, however, for the first time in his career. (Updated 05/14/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Barbosa started just 12 games, but he's been the Suns' sixth man for each of the last three seasons and is one of the best players in that role around the league. The Suns are currently in the midst of a philosophical change with Mike D'Antoni leaving and general manager Steve Kerr looking to insert more of a half-court offense. That could make it hard for Barbosa to have another big offensive season off the bench, but he heads into the season still worth a pick in the middle rounds as a No. 4 Fantasy guard.
