2) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

Sleeper Shooting Guards - February 2008

Marko Jaric, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jaric is a bit of a combo guard for the Timberwolves. Offensively, Jaric mostly plays point guard, while defensively he’s a shooting guard. The result is Jaric is able to put up nice numbers in a lot of statistics. He’s not going to be a highly consistent player because he’s on a […]

Sleeper Point Guards - February 2008

Fantasy Basketball: Sleeper Shooting Guards

Carlos Delfino, Toronto Raptors
Delfino has always been an intriguing prospect. He can score, rebound and pass a bit. He’s basically a poor man’s version of Manu Ginobili. If his role increases with the Raptors, he could become a very good fantasy option. Right now, he’s a hit-and-miss type fantasy players.
Kelenna Azubuike, Golden State Warriors
Some fantasy […]

Fantasy Basketball: Sell High Candidates

Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
At some point before Gilbert Arenas is ready to return, you may look to trade away Butler if you can get great value in return. For example, if you can get a Kobe Bryant or a Shawn Marion in a package involving Butler, you should pull the trigger on that trade. […]

Fantasy Basketball: Fool’s Gold

Kareem Rush, Indiana Pacers
Rush exploded for 22 points on Wednesday and looked very good in doing so. However, that’s not something you can expect out of him. He’s a one-dimensional streak shooter who can just as easily go 1-for-8, just like he did the previous game for the Pacers. Keep him on your league’s waiver […]

Fantasy Basketball Super Sleepers

Shawne Williams, Indiana Pacers
Williams is a very talented second year player out of Memphis. He served a suspension earlier this season but since he’s been active, he’s produce rather well. Due to his size and skillset, he can play a number of positions. If his minutes increase, he’ll be a very good fantasy player.
Anthony Carter, […]
