Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

Winning any fantasy league is all about the sleepers/unexpected players who break out due to injury or opportunity in playing time.  We already have some breakout candidates this year in basketball.  Now I could be dead wrong which is what sleepers are all about.  You can either strike it rich or end up in the poorhouse, but here is a sample list of Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

  1. Greivis Vasquez - Not sure if he is considered a sleeper, but he is the pure starting point guard with no competition.  He went relatively late in drafts, yet he is averaging over 8 assists per game, rebounds well for a guard and is averaging 15 points and 1.5 treys per game.  If the team around him including superstar rookie Anthony Davis and Al-Farouq Aminu (another sleeper) play well for him, he could end up being a borderline top 50 player.
  2. Kyle Singler - A lengthy small forward playing for the hopeless Detroit Pistons.  Singler got his first start last night and didn't disappoint with 16 points, 4 boards, 1 block and a trey.  If he sticks in the starting lineup and puts up across the board stats, he could be a pickup that helps you win your league.
  3. Luke Ridnour - At least until Ricky Rubio returns from injury, Luke will give you 15 points, 6 assists, 1 trey and 1 steal per game.  Not great numbers but can be a nice addition to your team.
