Agent Zero has announced that he’ll opt out of his contract after the 2007-08 season. That makes this year one big audition for Arenas, which should be a scary proposition for opposing point guards league-wide. It seems inevitable that Arenas will win at least one scoring title before his career is over, and this could be the year. But don’t make the mistake of calling Arenas a shoot-first point guard. He’ll score as well or better than any other guard in the league, but he also manages to amass as many assists as a lot of those “pass-first” guys and rebound as well as some forwards. Throw in two steals a game and a ton of threes, all set in an up-tempo offense, and you’ve got the top point guard in fantasy. Don’t let last season’s knee injury scare you off; Arenas is expected to be fully healthy for the season opener.
