"Sleepers still exist. Payton Pritchard made the fifth-most 3-pointers in the NBA last season. Deni Avdija became an offensive force down the stretch last spring. Josh Giddey turned into a triple-double machine after the All-Star break. Fantasy managers, rankings and the overall draft market are undoubtedly sharper these days, but the convergence of talent and opportunity will continue to deliver fun new names every season."
"With value in mind, be sure to check out our staff's roundtable on sleepers, breakouts, and busts, where I nominate Kevin Porter Jr. as a notable backcourt sleeper given what could be a rewarding workload for the new-look Milwaukee Bucks. With a lens on finding players who have potential to outproduce expectations, the focus of this list is on players found outside the top 100 picks on average in ESPN live draft results."
Sleepers still exist in fantasy basketball, with players like Payton Pritchard, Deni Avdija and Josh Giddey providing unexpected production. Fantasy managers and rankings are sharper, but convergence of talent and opportunity continues to create new fantasy options. Value-minded strategies include scouting beyond the top 100 picks in ESPN live drafts. Kevin Porter Jr. is highlighted as a backcourt sleeper with potential increased workload in Milwaukee. Zach Edey will miss time with a significant ankle injury but projects as a focal two-way center in Tuomas Iisalo's offense once healthy. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Andrew Nembhard offer deep-round upside in playmaking, threes, steals and rebounds.
