ESPN's All-Sleeper Team

John Hollinger has written a column for ESPN Insider (free column) about 15 players flying under the radar that NBA fans should keep an eye on. Two Sixers made the list... Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young... so it's good to see that our players are gaining national attention for something other than losing or playing the role of trade bait.

Kris Humphries is a funny dude, but he's not a good basketball player.

Is this seriously what you get when you pay for espn insider? Anyone, and I mean anyone on this bord could have made a list like that.

Of course anyone could make a list like this... but obviously a column put on ESPN.com by one of it's so-called "experts" has a lot more credibility with sports' fans than something I or any of us post on here.

Like I said... it's nice to see someone point out that Thad and Lou are having nice seasons.

Lou Will is a poor man's Iverson...Thad is an extremely good rebounder at SF.

Its nice to know these things.

Wait.... I don't believe this column is meant to shine some amazing spotlight on these players to the fans of the teams they play for but instead point out to casual NBA fans that these guys are solid players that they should pay attention to.

David West? The Hornets have the best record in the west right now. He's staying put for the foreseeable future.

I think he means Delonte...who seems to want out of Seattle.

I guess my issue with Delonte is that he's another player who doesn't have a set position and he'll be a RFA this summer and look to get paid.

Is Delonte really a PG???

Couldn't agree more. He's a nice guy to have as a utility player....like Ron Harper in his day...but his lack of a position is awkward
