Shooting Guard Sleepers 2008 – Fantasy

Ben Gordon, Chicago Bulls
Recently, Ben Gordon re-signed with the Bulls for the qualifying offer. With Gordon becoming a free agent at the end of the year, you can count on him going all out to have a great year. He’s a hard worker to begin with — he will be on a mission this year.

Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
While it is true that Manu Ginobili will miss as many as the first 25 games of the season after undergoing surgery on his ankle, Ginobili shouldn’t be forgotten in fantasy basketball drafts in 2008. He was very good in 2007 and all indications point to him being able to return to that level.

OJ Mayo, Memphis Grizzlies
As far as shooting guard sleepers are concerned, there aren’t many with a higher upside than OJ Mayo. Mayo loves to shoot the ball and always seems to be in the middle of the action. With the Grizzlies already eliminated from the 2009 playoffs, Mayo should get plenty of minutes.

Mickael Pietrus, Orlando Magic
Stan Van Gundy loves defense. Defense is what Mickael Pietrus does best. Expect him to play a lot and produce in categories across the board. He’s not great at any one aspect but he’s a solid fantasy basketball player due to his all-around contributions.

Top Fantasy Basketball Rookie Shooting Guards

Stephen Kersey — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 09:34:06 +0000

Kevin Durant, Seattle Supersonics
If you have Kevin Durant on your fantasy team, you’ve seen first hand how streaky he can be. At times, he’s a great fantasy player. At other times, he does more harm than good. Over the long haul, he should turn into a great player. That greatness may even come later in this season.

Juan Carlos Navarro, Memphis Grizzlies
Juan Carlos Navarro has proven to be a world-class shooter who isn’t as one-dimensional as some pundits insisted. He can put up some nice stats but it’s true that he’s primarily at shooter. With the Grizzlies looking to unload even more talent, Navarro should get plenty of time to shine.

Corey Brewer, Minnesota Timberwolves
Able to play many positions, Corey Brewer is hard to pigeonhole into one category. He’s a multifaceted talent who is a consistent jumper away from being a really good player. Brewer will never be a big time scorer but he could become a fantasy basketball stud eventually.

Daequan Cook, Miami Heat
With the Heat looking to go young, Daequan Cook appears to be a key part of their rebuilding plan. He’s a natural born scorer who can fill up the stat sheet in a hurry. Even though he’s young, he could become a main scorer threat in Miami late in the season.
