Sleeper Point Guards

by Stephen Kersey on October 1st, 2007

The point guard position is very deep in this year.  There are about 25 legit point guard prospects that could start for your fantasy team and produce at a high level.  While the ones at the top are obvious, here are three sleeper point guard picks for the 2007-08 season.

Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
A lot of people have Williams rated outside of their top ten fantasy point guards.  Personally, I think that is ridiculously low.  If you watched how he played in the playoffs, you would have watched a superstar being born.  Williams is going to average a large number of assists and he’s becoming a great scorer on top of that.  I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Williams finish as a top five fantasy point guard this season.

Andre Miller, Philadelphia 76ers
Miller will have the ball so much for the Sixers that he can’t help but put up huge numbers.  His assist numbers are going to be there and Miller has always been a good rebounder for his position.  While he isn’t a great offensive threat, he could very well have a career year for Philadelphia this year.

Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics
Rondo is a bit of a risky pick because he’s so young and will have a huge amount of pressure on him this season.  That said, if Rondo lives up to his billing, he could become a star.  He’s already one of the best at accumulating steals and with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce around him, there’s no reason why he can’t average over seven assists per contest.
