This week we talk sleepers. There’s nothing more satisfying than nabbing a player well below perceived value who ends up making you look smart. Your big name picks will help carry you throughout the season but it’s a middle or late round pick who delivers in spades that can be the difference-maker in a tight matchup. Sleepers are always a fun discussion topic and are a major point of pride for any fantasy owner, so let’s see who you think were are our big success stories from last season.

Dipo is most definitely no longer a sleeper. I believe what we saw from Ingles this past season is as close to his productive ceiling as we can get. Josh Richardson may be a victim of the type of positionless basketball Eric Spolestra is trying to build in Miami and may not have too much more to go before his ceiling is reached. Mirotic has always showed glimpses of what he did last year with the Hornets. I don't think anyone is sleeping on him anymore, now that he is out of Chicago.
Marc Gasol could be considered a sleeper in my eyes as he had a very down year last season while the Grizzlies were determined to secure a high draft pick after Conley went down. I believe people will be sleeping on him.
Bam Adebayo from the Miami Heat will be a "favorite" among the talking heads this off season.
Will Barton depending on where he signs.

Great #analysis Houston, just to make it clear the poll is about this (completed) season's sleepers although I'm glad to see someone else already compiling an early list of them for next year 😉

In that case D. Sabonis. He was a complete after thought when the season started while the incumbent starter Myles Turner was widely considered a top 25-30 dynasty player.
Sabonis far exceeded anyone's expectations and has reaffirmed himself as a front court player to keep an eye on.

I'll go with Taj Gibson, that dude should've slowed down somewhere during the season but he stayed top50.

The guy with the hottest beard, Harden aside, in the league...The guy who comes out of the 70s... The guy whose first name could be his last one...the guy who was not picked by anyone in any league unless accidentally drafted... Shall I continue ?? Spencer Dinwiddie..

Sabonis far exceeded anyone's expectations and has reaffirmed himself as a front court player to keep an eye on. Correct and fully agree, his only fault by default is his last name... When you know that you can never reach your father’s abilities in the same sport you practice, then you will always been seen as the “your father’s son”.... Personally i would argue that his father is one of the greatest “what if” in modern basketball. If he was healthy and had entered US earlier, we would still talk about him |

Michael Beasley... not Ingles, not Sabonis, not Oladipo, not Burke. He came from garbage and he was producing a lot... and he is mine in FA...

In my sleeper understanding it should be someone we all knew and gave up but delivered greatly.
Then taj and enes fits that definition. There were no injuries around to give them extra chance but they shined big time.
