My Top 10 Sleeper for '12-'13

I'm not including players that have high expectations to produce or first round draft picks.

10. E. Bledsoe - Has the talent to start but is playing behind the best point guard in the nba. If Paul ever goes down. Bledsoe will no doubt shine.

9. C.J. Miles - Looks like he's going to start over Waiters and he's primed to breakout if he can ever average 30+ minutes a game.

8. E. Brand - Once a top ten player, Brand is prime to get minutes in Dallas and that usually equals to pretty good stats. He's their best post defender and he could average 1.5 blks a game.

7. Markieff Morris - A natural power forward with long range shooting skills. He's looking like the primary back up in Phoenix behind Scola. He could possibly start some time this season. Once phoenix goes into tank mode.

6. G. Vasquez - Only true point guard on New Orleans. Most likely going to average over 30 minutes again. He's a good source of dimes, threes and steals.

5. T. Harris - Not much noise coming out of Milwaukee these days. But, it could be Tobias' turn to start over Dunleavy. Look for him to late in your draft and you won't be disappointed.

4. A. Kirilenko - After a year off dominating Europe and a fantastic Olympics. AK is back and starting for the much improved T-wolves. Always a threat to produce peripheral stats, which is fantasy gold i tell ya!

3. J. Green - Again, coming off of heart surgery Jeff re-signed for considerable money to stay in Boston. He's going to back up SF and PF, which should get him 30 minutes a night whether he starts or not.

2. A. Morrow - A deadly 3pt shooter whose going to get the green light to shoot in Atlanta. Him and Lou Williams are going to help carry the load with the departure of Joe Johnson.

1. K. Faried - He's starting this year with no one really behind him. He's mostly a one trick pony (rebounds) but you can expect decent scoring, great FG% and some bonus swats and steals. I would use a 4th round pick on him and not even blink. I'm sure everyone is calling for him to break out this year.

Let me know who you think is going to breakout this year.

You have some DEEP sleepers. I prefer Wright to Brand. Brand is OLD and Wright had a PER of 22+. Its going to be tough either way. I think Dirk is going to miss some time here but given the competition its tough to go with either of those.

I agree with

Vasquez
Faried
Kirilenko

and would add
Pekovic
Evan Turner
Valanciunas (deeper)

Feel like Brand is a bust waiting to happen. Kirilenko (no way is he going to put up 5/5/5/5/5 like people believe) as well. Harris isn't really much to look at, and I don't think Morris will improve much from last year. Seems like a tim thomas/frye sort of role--a big who just wants to shoot 3s out on the perimeter...

I agree with Faried, Vasquez and Bledsoe

I don't get the Kirilenko hype ever...kind of reminds me of people saying Biedrins was good...

After last year's 'dud', what do you expect from Beasley?

Also, Hayward will improve.
