Brad Leibfried's Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated. What makes a sleeper a sleeper, and when do they cross over the threshold from sleeper to overvalued. For me, the term sleeper just means a savvy draft pick who could be an excellent value where they are currently being drafted. In […]

Brad Leibfried's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

The best way to lose your fantasy basketball draft is to blow your early round picks on guys who don't perform like early round picks. The following players are going fairly early in drafts, but have no room for upside at their current draft price, with plenty of room for downside.  I'll be avoiding them […]

Three Undervalued Centers for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

With studs such as Karl-Anthony Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, and Al Horford at the top of the draft, centers are likely to go early in your fantasy draft. However, if you miss out on a stud or do not like the downside to players such as Andre Drummond or DeAndre Jordan, there are a few late […]


Players to Target When Punting 3PM in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

In today’s NBA everyone is shooting a ton of three pointers and thus the category has been one of the more difficult ones to punt on.  There are two ways to look at punting the category, if you are able to draft Stephen Curry in round one, you may be able to do a near […]


Enes Kanter (C, OKC) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Rounds 7-11 CURRENT ADP: 77.8 ANALYSIS: With the loss of Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka, everyone is rightly focusing on Russell Westbrook, however Enes Kanter is also in line to see a huge boost in minutes and usage.  Last year Kanter posted a solid stat line of 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds in just 21 […]


Robin Lopez (C, CHI) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Rounds 8-12 CURRENT ADP: 99.1 ANALYSIS: The reason Robin Lopez has an ADP of 99.1 is because he does nothing that stands out to fantasy players.  He will not wow you with any one statistical area, however where Lopez shines is his incredibly consistent play. Last season, he averaged a solid 10.3 points, 7.3 rebounds […]

Tyreke Evans (G, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

All of the focus will be on superstar Anthony Davis, but teammate Tyreke Evans who could be the surprise performer for the New Orleans Pelicans in the upcoming season.  After a disappointing first season in New Orleans, Evans rebounded last season and posted a solid stat line of 16.6 points, 6.6 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. […]


Isaiah Thomas (G, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Perhaps no player burst onto the scene in the 2013-2014 season as loudly as Isaiah Thomas.  In that season the diminutive guard averaged 20.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.8 three pointers made per game for the Sacramento Kings.  He then signed a new deal with the Phoenix Suns, but got off to a disappointing start while battling […]


Kyle Korver (G/F, ATL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Many times when you are in a fantasy draft, much of the league is looking to make flashy picks with big names or players with a high ceiling.  Often a player such as Kyle Korver goes undervalued due to style of basketball he plays.  However, when you take a look at the numbers you see […]


Kenneth Faried (F, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

Going into last season, Kenneth Faried was pegged as player who could be ready to bust out for a giant season.  That was not the case.  He saw his points per game drop by over a point per game and was not able to boost his rebounding or defensive stats.  Look for that to change […]


The Portland Trailblazers - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers

When Lamarcus Aldridge left Portland this summer, many people probably dismissed the entire Trailblazers team for fantasy purposes.  That would be a mistake.  Although the loss will hurt the actual team, it may be a huge blessing for the remaining players on the team in terms of fantasy value.  Along with Aldridge, they also lose Wes […]
