Sleepers.. Ramon Sessions, Jarrett Jack, Anthony Randolph, Greg Oden, Brandon Bass. Believe me when I say that Orlando stole away Bass from Dallas. He's gonna explode.

I'm looking to snag Arenas either in round 4 or 5. I think he's going to put up top 20 numbers.

I'm not sure about sessions. Something tells me he'll put up great numbers to start the season and then he'll start losing minutes to Jonny Flynn. I mean, the guy lost out to Luke Ridnour for a lot of last season.

Guys like Gilbert and Brand could be good sleepers but don't take them too high and don't draft more than one high level guy like that. It's nice to pick a couple wild card guys like that but you'll get burned if they're injured most of the year. Try to pick safely in your first few rounds; as they say, fantasy aren't won in the first few rounds but they can be lost. Amare may put up better stats than Dirk this year but I'd take Dirk and his 79 game average over the past few seasons.

If FT% is a part of your league I recommend looking at one of the most underrated stats in fantasy: free throw attempts. It's why Dwight Howard's free throw percentage will hurt you a lot more than Shaq's. Devin Harris and Kevin Martin are two awesome players for this stat (and obviously Wade, Kobe, Bosh). Remember a guy who goes to the line 9 times a game and shoots 85% is more valuable than someone like Nash who shoots a higher percentage but never gets to the line.

Anyway, on to the sleepers (for later rounds):

• I would have said Brook Lopez but he's very high on most draft boards already.
• Rondo and Westbrook will both have big years but won't get you 3's.
• Zach Randolph and Allen Iverson are VERY VERY low on most draft boards. They may not get career numbers this year but they will still fill up the stat sheet and probably get more minutes than Darrell Arthur and Mike Conley.
• Scola will be pretty good
• Bynum is apparently in incredible shape
• Igoudala is gonna have a huge year. He'll basically be playing point guard because Lou Williams can't. He'll get a lot of TOs though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bass becomes their starting PF, moving Rashard back to the 3 and Vince to the 2. Bass could be a very nice late round pickup.

Anthony Randolph is great if u can get him late 5th and above. Kirk Hinrich, now that BG is gone, should produce well and be a good last round pick. Antonio Mcdyess is solid and will get you a good 8 and 8 in the final round. I see Javale Mcgee doing well and he's a sleeper going into the last round, Jason Thompson can be snatched at around 10th round and above too. 2 real good sleepers you should get are Danilo Gallinari and Thad Young. If you can get Thad Young 8th round or higher, your good. Danilo can be snatched at the 2 last rounds probably, he'll produce well. Chris Andersen and Mario Chalmers are good too if you want single stat boosters for stl and blk. They will both get you 2 of each, and they can be had for the last 2 rounds, tho chalmers you should probably get him a little earlier since he's turining into a sophomore and also gives you starting pg type points and will get you above average for assists and threes as well. Good luck.
