Speed is an invaluable asset in basketball, if you know how to harness it. Skilled players are able to vary their pace and move circles around the defense. Even those lacking in overall skill can just barrel their way to the rim and draw contact to get to the line. Besides players’ sprint timings, the NBA 2K ratings are a fairly accurate measure of the fastest players in the league.
Every team needs a player who can push the pace, glide coast to coast, and be the flash in the pan to disrupt the opposition. It is a well known fact that offenses are more productive in the open court as opposed to going up against a set defense. Having any of these players on your fantasy team will allow you to run the floor effectively. These players can also be pests on defense when controlled by the user, irrespective of their defensive awareness.
