Waking the Giants - #2
After a bit of a technical hiccup, we are back to highlight some potential sleepers in fantasy hoops.
POINT GUARDS
Darren Collison (NO): Kind of a no-brainer here, but with Chris Paul hobbled, Collison steps in. There's no chance Collison will put up Paul-like numbers, but 13-15 points, 5-6 assists with a steal, 3 and decent percentages very possible. Paul could be up to 2 weeks away from returning, so you can still get mileage out of Collison.
Luke Ridnour (MIL): Somehow, Ridnour is only owned in 6.5% of ESPN leagues. He'll remain a favorite of Scott Skiles and will benefit when/if Brandon Jennings hits the proverbial rookie wall. Ridnour has been making the most of his opportunities lately and could certainly serve as a decent backup PG in all leagues.
C.J. Watson (GS): With all the injuries the Warriors are faced with, Watson, who just returned from illness, has posted a couple solid efforts. He's likely SG-eligible, which is always good. If you're seeking a guy who plays in an up-tempo offense who could help you out in bigger leagues, Watson's your pick.
SHOOTING GUARDS
Corey Brewer (MIN): When Brewer is good, he's good (22 points, 13 boards on November 25th). When he's bad, he's pretty bad (5 points on 1 of 11 shooting and 3 turnovers on November 27th). He's only owned in 30% of Yahoo leagues, and should probably be on more given his penchant for big games.
James Posey (NO): Those of you that are fantasy hoops vets know Posey. He'll hang around, have an OK game here and there, and then a switch will be flipped and he'll average 10-15 points, 4-5 boards, 4-5 assists, a 3 and 1-2 steals for a 20-game stretch. Hornet fans are hoping this switch is flipped sooner rather than later.
SMALL FORWARDS
Chuck Hayes (HOU): Everyone is jumping on the Carl Landry bandwagon, but we actually like Hayes almost as much. He's got the position flexibility and will definitely not kill you in any category.
