Thad is the Starting SF in phily

[Yuri Vaultin]

Nice list. My only complaint is...

Austin Daye - TMac is Mr. Glass and also has a horrible attitude. Tayshaun is not exactly durable himself, and is also being bandied about in trade talks. I think Daye in his second year will see limited minutes until the logjam is cleared in front of him, but keep him in your watch list. If an injury happens in front of him or a trade, pick him up speculatively.

Prince is durable. He played a full season for 6 straight years up until last season.

My late(r) round sleepers are:

Bigs
McGee - WAS starting C put up great numbers in limited minutes last year and his only backup is Hilton Armstrong

Varejao - Another player that got a great number of rebounds in a limited role last year, and now is going to be the starting C.

Hibbert - No competition for minutes, as the Pacers are extremely shallow at PF/C. Great source of Rebounds and Blocks.

Splitter - Yahoo has him as SF,PF,C (thats always good). Also, he will be getting the staring nod over McDyess. Also like this pick because of Duncan taking time off this season (Pop is looking to sit Duncan on some B2B games).

Guards
Holiday - Lots of big talk about his improvements. I expect his Assists, 3pointers and steals to all improve this year.

Blake - Better player than Fisher, could possibly become the starting PG. Great number of assists and seems to have learned the triangle already.

Chalmers - Wide open 3 pointers and a great source of steals. Wont get that many assists, but starting next to Wade/Lebron/Bosh should net him some easy open buckets.

dorrell wright in golden state now that he is slotted to start at sf

[PerkinsFor3]

I'd say Josh McRoberts is looking to be one of the biggest value picks this year. And he's onl;y 23 years old, so maybe it's him becoming a viable roto option. He can get you rebounds, blocks, 3pts and even some steals. Great roto combo, and so far it looks like he'll get the lion's share of minutes at PF, as position where his competition will be Hansbrough who can't keep his balance for more than 20 seconds and Solomon Jones. Just saying.

KLEIZA - only sleeper worth picking up. hes only likw 30%owned in leagues and he will be good for 15/6 with a couple threes a night. dont let this fantasy stud slip through your fingers. and if you in a league wit me, he's already on my team. made 4 teams and he's on 3. housemmate took him because i hyped him up too much lol

[Joel Embust]

McBobs and Kleiza are the best bargain players available.

[PerkinsFor3]

Keep an eye on Wesley Matthews in Portland. Plays some pg, sg and even sf. Gets some assists, 3pts and shoots nice %'s. With Portland's injuries an unconventional line ups he could get a good amount of minutes and multiple position egil.

I agree on a few of these. Bare in mind the only Fantasy bball league I do is a dynasty, so I value young players more as I can wait 2-3 seasons for them to be great.

Jrue Holiday - Very young, lots of opportunity to improve on his numbers. Is the starter in Philadelphia and comes from a school, UCLA, that has great recent success in grooming good NBA PGs. Don't expect much scoring, but do note that he averaged 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals with 50% shooting in 24 starts in the final two months last year when he got 30-35 minutes a game.

Terrence Williams - I like his potential a lot if he gets the minutes (which he really should.) I think that as a SF, he had the second best per 40 minutes rebounding numbers of anyone in the league, next to LeBron. He also has the potential to chip in 4-5 assists a game. The last two months of the season, of his rookie season mind you, he averaged 14-7-5 in 34 minutes a game. He may not stay at 14 points a game as the fourth scoring option for the Nets, but the rebounding and assists are nice. Bottom-line, low risk high reward player right now.

Hedo Turkoglu - I feel like a lot of people are down on Turkoglu, he was dropped in my dynasty league and is still available in our draft right now (I'm probably going to take him if he is around at my pick.) Bottom-line is he is going to be starting for a high-paced offense that is looking for more scoring after losing Amare and Barbosa, he has eligibility at SG and SF, and is currently slated to start at PF for the Suns (so he could have 3-position eligibility.) A line of 15-5-5 with a couple of threes and a steal a game isn't out of the question.

Jeff Teague - Not going to be able to add him to my team, limited roster spots and all, but I like his potential for the future as well. He could very well be the starter in Atlanta this time next year. Not much to go off of yet though as barely played in his rookie season. He did play well in his 3 starts.

I've also got high hopes for Anthony Randolph, but where he is being drafted right now, I think between 6th and 7th round in standard format leagues, is probably right.

Josh Childress

[PerkinsFor3]

Keep an eye on Maxiel. He replaced Daye as the starting pf in Detroit. Didn't do too well, but last year he put up nice blk/reb stats as a starter.

It's also not know as of yet what the reason was, some think it's the Pistons showcasing him for a trade or him simply playing better in practice.
