Fantasy Basketball Super Sleepers

Late in your fantasy basketball draft, you may be interested in rolling the dice on a player with a high ceiling who could become an overnight sensation. There are a number of fantasy basketball super sleepers that fit that bill. Here’s a look at some of these super sleepers:

C Channing Frye, Phoenix Suns
If you go back to his rookie season, Channing Frye looked like a star in the making. But since that point, the outside shooting bigman has struggled. That said, he’s now on the Suns and could very well be a starter. If he finds some of his lost magic, he’s definitely a player that can help your fantasy basketball team.

PF DeJuan Blair, San Antonio Spurs
In preseason play, DeJuan Blair has been outstanding. He’s scoring, rebounding and even mixing in a few assists. If he gets playing time, he’ll be a worthy fantasy basketball addition.

SF Chase Budinger, Houston Rockets
The Rockets will need someone to pick up the scoring slack and Chase Budinger might be one of those who is able to shoulder the load. He’s shooting extremely well and could make an impact right away.

SG Carlos Delfino, Milwaukee Bucks
Don’t forget about Carlos Delfino. He left to Europe for a year but now he’s back and he’s stepping into a situation in Milwaukee where he could earn a lot of minutes. His tough style should mesh well with Scott Skiles’ coaching — which could earn him a healthy amount of minutes.

PG Sergio Rodriguez, Sacramento Kings
The Kings look like they have tired of Beno Udrih at point guard. While Tyreke Evans is probably ahead of Rodriguez, the Spaniard could earn a lot of playing time if the Kings eventually move Evans to shooting guard.
