Basketball sleepers this year

[bbrauch2000]

I'm doing a bunch of stuff to get ready for fantasy basketball season and I was curious of who the few basketball fans on this site were looking to break out this year.

 

I'm excited about Lamarcus Aldridge getting a shot with Oden and Randolph out of the picture. Corey Maggette will be getting starter minutes again as the focal point of the Clippers offense. For rookies, Al Horford seems like he should have a solid season but i hate the Hawks so I dont know. Other than Durant, there doesnt seem to be a rookie who is a stone cold lock for good production. Conley could but thats a crowded back court

 

Anyone else have an idea who i should be looking at to make "the jump" this year?

For rookies, I think Bellinelli from GS and Jeff Green in SEA will put up decent numbers. Other than that, anyone in a contract year.

Yeah good point. Basketball does seem to be the one league where player performance actually improves in a contract year.

You see it in baseball occasionally as well...Adrian Beltre comes to mind.

Sure there are some examples, but people take it as common knowledge that baseball players will perform better in contract years when there is no evidence to back that up.
