Boris Diaw, Charlotte Bobcats
Chances are Boris Diaw is long gone in your fantasy basketball league, but if he’s out there, stop what you are doing and go pick him up. He’s starting and getting plenty of minutes since he was traded to the Bobcats. Diaw has also been very involved in the offense and is now a good fantasy basketball option.

Robert Swift, Seattle Supersonics
If you read between the lines, it’s pretty obvious that Robert Swift is the player the Sonics envision as the team’s center of the future.

While researching for fantasy basketball, one aspect to remember is the players coming back from injury.  While their numbers don’t stack up with other fantasy hopefuls, you can find great sleepers by looking at this group of players.
Robert Swift, Seattle Supersonics
Swift is a major sleeper this season.  After missing all of last season when he tore his ACL in preseason, he’s flying way under the radar.  However, he could very well be worth a draft pick this year.  He has put on upwards of 40 pounds of muscle this offseason and could start at center for the Sonics.  Keep an …read more
