Ryan Hollins is a guy I'm keeping an eye on in deep leagues. He'll be especially worth looking at if Big Al struggles with his injury coming out of the gate.

Any 10+ league should have Rush drafted. Hibbert probably too.

People forget about Haywood.

Bibby/Joe reduced minutes, Crawford not even playing. Teague won't play more than garbage minutes.

How about DJ White? I'm in a *deep* keeper league. DJ only had a few games last year but he put up 19 fantasy pts per game and 1.04 per minute. That's showing me more than a guy like say DeJuan Blair's summer league and preseason stats.

Hibbert and Rush are not being drafted in 10 team standard leagues.....in custom leagues with extra bench spots maybe...

So many sleepers, but I am guessing you want fliers:

Julian Wright
Jrue Holiday
Roy Hibbert
Sam Young
Brandon Rush
Aaron Affalo
Chris Douglas-Roberts
DeJuan Blair
Corey Brewer
Carlos Delfino

just to name a few...

And now Big Al is out. Big minutes for Hollins. He might suck, but in 12 team leagues he's worth throwing on the end of the bench just in case. Should have decent blocks.

I will have to see that happen first. Unless Hibbert becomes a shot blocker on the level of say a Chris Anderson he doesn't contribute enough in the other cat's. Rush has a chance since Dunleavy is still hurting and the it's only Dahntay Jones ahead of him he really has a chance to be a starter. But can he provide consistency...I personally doubt it....

If Augustin or Morrow are available in your leagues I'd snatch them up quickly. With Bell out Augustin should see a jump in PT (maybe he even starts) and Morrow may very well start in GS as well.

Brandon Jennings is a guy that should be considered now if your team is low on assists/steals as by the time he starts (no later than Christmas I think) he should be putting up 5-7 assists and 1.5-2 steals.

I second the Augustin pickup. I would also consider picking up Ryan Gomes.

Has anyone considered what Anthony Parker may do in Cleveland, it's possible he'll be starting and you may be able to expect good percentages with a 1.5 3's 1 steal and 4 assists, low TO's,
