    Thorough list and analysis. I agree with alot of them. I would watch out for Gerald Green in Dallas. This is a kid who has Kobe like potential but was drafted young out of HS when he should've went to college and has bounced around the league. Look for him to find a niche in Dallas. Also, Andray Blatche in Washington is another potential sleeper. Take a look at my profile in the next couple days, I will have my fantasy basketball rankings, sleepers and projections posted.

      Yeah Green should provide a nice jolt off the bench. He has Kobe hops, but I think Kobe potential is a bit generous.

      I also like C.J. Miles out in Utah. He's another shoulda went to college guy, but he is starting to hit stride. Utah might have the best bench in the NBA!

      I look forward to your rankings.

    after watching gerald green for a couple seasons in mn, he'll play a few minutes early in the season, have one game where you say "wow", this kids gonna be a star, and then you get to watch him look completely lost in offensive and defensive sets for a couple weeks, then he'll be back on the bench for the rest of the season. green simply doesn't have a clue.

      That's the biggest problem with the kids who jumped. In college they teach you how to play, in the pros they expect you to be able to play.

    Nice article, but I can't agree with you on Shaq. Even if he is healthy he is not the once dominate force that he used to be. However, I really like Marcus Williams and Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey will soon thrive with the Pistons once Billups is gone.

      Yeah Euro rookies are about as risky as it gets, but D'Antoni has known him since he was a kid and he knows how to scout the overseas players. I expect him to be successful.
