Ramon Sessions, especially considering his ranking on Yahoo.

I drafted Jeff Green, Kevin Love, Joakim Noah, and Ramon Sessions in my keeper league hoping that at least one of them will break outl

All very good bets to breakout next season. Nice guys to draft in a keeper league as long as you didn't get them too early.

I've been profiling quite a few sleepers at my blog. Check them out if you are looking for other possible sleeper candidates.

No worries, more to come. Should be rolling out some deep sleepers soon too for deeper or more competitive leagues.

I picked them both up very late. In the last 3 rounds, so picking them up that late I think is worth the risk.

Jason Thompson and sessions should both be a great sleepers, but one guy I'd target in later round is Emeka Okafor (His Yahoo ranking is 113). He's a double-double machine and playing alongside CP3 should really help his offense, he hasn't missed a game in the last 2 years and he will get you over 1.5 blocks per game. I know he has a bad FT%, but at under than 5 FTA per game, it won't have such a bad effect on your team if you have some decent FT% guys in early rounds (Or if you take DH12 and punt FT% for rebounds, FG% and blocks).

Agreed. Sessions is underrated in Yahoo's rankings.

what about IVerson. no one trusts him but come on, what if he comes back being that 27points- 7 assts- 3 boards and a couple of ST. ???

Im betting too high on Arenas too. I think he will be a top10 easily.

IMO for Iverson 16/5/3 along with 1.5 spg and 0.8 3's is more reasonable.

I don't see Iverson getting that. Grizzlies can't get give him much more than 30 mpg if they want to play Conley and Mayo at least 30 mpg, wich I think they should. Iverson, may crack top 100 this year, but he's a volume player, and he's not going to get the time he used to.

Areans, on the other hadn, I could see a top 10 return, as long as he doesn't do what he says he's going to do and limit his 3 point attempts to under 100 for the season.

Okafor is getting drafted around the 6th or 7th from what i've seen so far
