Patrick Patterson (PF, TOR) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
With the departure of starting PF Amir Johnson, it appears that Patrick Patterson will fill the hole at the 4-slot for the Raptors, at least initially. Patterson has only averaged 8.3 points and 4.8 rebounds over his career, but the 26 year old's ability to knock down the three at a respectable clip makes him […]

After sitting out his rookie season after a heartbreaking injury in his first game as an NBA pro, many have discounted the Kentucky star's ability to carve out a role in the NBA. The 6' 9” power forward has been branded as a “tweener” who excelled bullying smaller college players with his strength - a […]
James K 9 years agoRoy Hibbert (C, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
It seems like forever since the former All-Star has been an exciting fantasy player to own – but this preseason Hibbert has looked rejuvenated. He has been rebounding the ball at a tremendous rate for the Lakers – averaging 10.4 rebounds in just 25.3 minutes. Minutes should not be an issue as Hibbert, as the […]

The Kings are a somewhat of a mystery for fantasy basketball managers. They've undergone a change of ownership and several front-office staffing and coaching changes over the past couple of years.

Despite all the injury woes Gordon's dealt with, he actually played over 60 games in each of the past two seasons.

Watch out for Ryan Anderson this year. He’s had injuries and struggled to start over the past few seasons, but as a PF who has shown he can shoot over 40% from the three-point line on high volume, he is a valuable commodity for any NBA team. He should especially do well in Alvin Gentry’s […]

Chandler’s reputation has suffered from a down year with the Knicks. But who can really blame him, really. The 2013-2014 Knicks were a disaster, and only look respectable in comparison to the absolute catastrophe that was the 2014-2015 season. Tyson turned it around once he was traded back to Dallas where he won his only […]
