Best Sleeper picks and rookies? 

Post#1 » by duppyy » Thu Oct 13, 2022 3:45 pm

Haven't been paying much attention to preseason this season due to being busy.

Just wondering if anyone can list some Sleepers for this year and who's the best rookies so far.

I have an auction draft tonight so trying to come up with a list of players I want and a list of players to put up as bait.

My sleepers this year are Devin Vassell and Jalen Smith. Guys you can get for a couple/few bucks who are gonna be sneaky good imo.

Vassell is going to get a nice usage and minutes bump with Dejounte gone and the Spurs going full tank. Already this preseason we've seen 27% usage compared to 19 last year. I bet you're going to get 34+mpg, decent percentages across the board, going to have a lot of opportunity this year and he's looked pretty solid as a creator so far this pre-season.

Jalen is kind of in the same boat, whether Turner is gone or not he's going to be getting a ton of looks this year. After getting traded to the Pacers last season he slashed 53/37/76 if he's even close to that I don't see why you couldn't be looking at a solid 15/10 season where he definitely outplays his draft rank
