Jose Calderon people, this is just the beginning, 14 pts 10 apg, 85+% from the line, 43+% from three, 50+% from the field. You can book it!

Jose's not really a sleeper. He was a top-40 type player last season in a regular 9-cat league.

yeah that's true...i'm just saying he's going to be the full time starter now, so those numbers may just get better and he could rise to a top 30 in a 9-cat league...at least.

But for sleepers I'd go with...

John Salmons
TJ Ford
Jermaine O'Neal
Beno Udrih
Jerryd Bayliss (has something to prove)
Marvin Williams (this is his year)

He was the 16th ranked player about three quarters of the way through the season last year. Most of the 'experts' are hyping him up too. He'd need to be a top 5 player to really be declared a 'sleeper' this year.

I don't buy into Marvin Williams this year. I know Childress is gone, but I only see upside in points and that would surely drop his FG%.

Marvin seemingly doesn't have the upside. I don't think he'll be any good. He's just an average jump-shooting SF sadly.

I do think Salmons will be very good this season though.

Tyrus Thomas is going to be a sleeper this year.

Tyrus Thomas has been a sleeper every year :)

I fear that he will continue to disappoint everyone alas Stromile Swift.I remember vividly how everyone was regarding him a sleeper until it became apparent in Houston that he is only a bench warmer.

I take it you mean all 1 of those years, unless you really expected a 19 year old to be a sleeper on a team that acknowledged he was a project and would take a few years, as well as and coming off of signing a veteran big man to a huge contract.

I think Thaddeus Young might be a bit of a sleeper. He played well in several stretches last year, I picked him up off waivers for all my teams and definitely benefitted from his contribution. The only big knock against him is that he's not a shot blocker, so playing him in a forward spot leaves you lacking in overall blocked shots. I played him occasionally as a utility player, if he improves this year he'll definitely be worth picking up again, this time late in the draft.

Kevin Durant could explode

I think DWade has a chance to have a MONSTER season, just good vibes surrounding him right now

I think Horford is going to be a beast on the glass this season and his offense should only improve

Al Thorton will essentially be the 2nd option on the Clippers, wouldn't surprise me to see his scoring make a considerable jump.

Andre Miller has some nice tools to work with in Philly

Francisco Garcia

Garcia's stats in last two month brought him a ranking of 52nd.He brings very good amount of three's/steals with a healthy dose of blocks from guard position and very good fg%.

With Artest trade,he and Salmons will gain the most value.

Ah, a decent one by all standards. Finally.

Redd will outperform his ADP, as will Lee.

Thaddeus Young fits the "sleeper" mold well. I think Noah has potential to as well. And I like Matt Barnes and Delonte West.
