Any sleepers for the 08-09 season? Drafting tonight! 

Post#1 » by edcoche » Wed Oct 22, 2008 12:47 am

So I got a spur of the moment draft going on tonight....any sleepers for this season?? Last 2 years I got in on D-WILL ('06) and Granger ('07) in the later rounds and capitalized huge on that. Need another one or two for this season!!

I hate asking 1 1/2 hrs before the draft but I just decided to join last minute. I am pretty competitive and was hesitant to join the league b/c I am going to be really busy with work in the upcoming months and prolly not able to give it the level of attention that I have done in the past. Anyways, here we go!!

THANKS GUYS......lookin' forward to another good season of fantasy bball!!

Good insight....I'll definitely think about nate robinson and JR Smith for sure! I am unsure how things are going to go in in PHX with Barnes but I guess thats why we call 'em sleepers!

two big sleepers at an important position to me are lou williams and rodney stuckey...
even though both of them have a strong pg in front of them in miller and billups, they have established themselves in the rotation and WILL get minutes (albeit some at the 2-guard spot) and both of them are incredibly talented and ready for solid seasons i think...

Thaddeus Young should improve from a good rookie season. Mayo and Rose can contribute even tough they're rookies. Those are some high-upside guys I'd be looking at in the late rounds.
I'd always thought of propane as a dignified lady. But she can also be a dirty girl.
