Five Under the Radar Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

This NBA season is an especially hard one to predict. So many stars have changed teams and changed roles.

Position: PF Team: Los Angeles Lakers Draft Spot: 1.27 Analysis: Every year there is a player that is drafted significantly later than they should be and they become a dark horse for the Rookie of the Year award.

NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Jonathan Isaac

Position: SF/PF Team: Orlando Magic Draft Spot: 1.06 Analysis: Isaac was a player that was being mocked as high as the top-3 to outside of the top-10.
