Full Story »Robin Lopez (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Definitely not the sexiest name in fantasy basketball, but don’t sleep on Robin Lopez as a potential key piece to more than a few winning fantasy rosters this season. Players like Robin Lopez are perfect to round out any roster and add a significant amount of consistency. I expect Robin Lopez to duplicate his 2013-14 […]

Full Story »Gerald Green (SG/SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Although Gerald Green was in a great spot for fantasy players in Phoenix, I think he landed with the perfect team and a better opportunity for playing time in Miami. On the surface, Green has to compete with Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, and Justise Winslow for time and touches. However, we all know the Heat […]

Full Story »Arron Afflalo (SG/SF, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Sleepers
Sasha Vujacic. That’s right, Sasha Vujacic is the only positional competition for Arron Afflalo. Fantasy value is usually based off of two things--talent and opportunity.

Jamaal Charles' owners worried for their team when they lost him for the year due to a torn ACL two weeks ago, but they are breathing a little easier if they were lucky enough to snatch up his teammate and emerging fantasy star Charcandrick West as a replacement.
