who do u think is gonna be the sleeper this year that's gonna end up being the surprise mvp??? who are some people u think are gonna be better than their initial rank???
Josh Howard - he's going in the 5th and 6th rounds at the earliest, but he'll get his 35+ minutes in Dallas (because he plays D and Avery loves him). Expect 16/8 at the very least, plus blocks, steals and decent percentages. Iguodala is another one who could really establish himself as a top 25 fantasy player, while out of the rookies I think Granger is going to force Carlisle to play him becuase he's too damn good not to be on the floor.
GET CHRIS PAUL. You could probably nab him in the 7th or 8th round even, maybe later. This guy is going to do big numbers for NOK.
I would say depending when you drafted, earlier Josh Howard was good, but they bumped his ranked to 47, too high. Lamar Odom on the other hand fell to 74! great pick up for that range..If Bdiddy stays healthy he can easily take the top spot in fantasy ball at 15th..
Sam Cassel. The guy is getting picked in the 5th/6th/and even 7th rounds, while people forget what type of a player he is and the situation he's in. Specially now with Livingston out, he'll get the majority of the minutes as LA's PG, and putting the fact that he's playing for a contract, expect big numbers from him. His stats will be along the line of 16 8 4 2 .. plus he's one of the rare guards that shoot 45FG%+. You're taking a risk with the injury, but where's he going currently, he's a steal.

But, come December, Livingston will be back, and you should expect Cassells production, along with his minutes, to see a hit. Along with that, he's going to be no better then the 3rd option, being behind Maggette and Brand, and he might even be the 4th option behind Cat Mobley. Either way, he's not going to put up huge fantasy numbers, especially once Livingston is back. But, like I said, if you're looking for a rental PG for about a month, he might be your guy. On that note, I think JR Smith is going to be a huge steal this year. I got him with the 104th pick (11th round) in my NBA.com fantasy league. That kid is going to be good. He's gonna get somewhere close or above 20ppg this year, cause to me, it's clear that he's option #1 for New Orleans. He's got great athleticism and is a great shooter, and, he's only going to be getting better. Another sleeper is Troy Murphy. I picked him up in the 11th round with the 121st pick of the draft. He's going to be a double double almost every night, his FG% should improve, his blocking should improve, and he's got a good outside stroke for a big guy, hitting over 50 treys last year, and again, something that should improve. Overall, he could be one of the better fantasy forwards out there, as long as he stays healthy.
well, i got both baron and sam cassel...we'll see how those 2 workout. i am also thinking im gonna pick up troy murphy from the free agents, but i dunno who i want to drop.
