Many writers believe that the path to success in Fantasy basketball lies in the drafting of point guards and power forwards. Count me as one of them. The theory behind this strategy is that each position provides relatively distinct category production and the combination of the two keeps your team balanced enough to win. When drafting power forwards, you want to load up on the ones that provide points, rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage. Another important factor is that many power forwards have dual eligibility at the power forward and centre positions.

There’s little doubt that, when healthy, Paul is the NBA’s most dynamic point guard. The Wake Forest product averaged 21.9 points and 11.3 assists per game while shooting a cool 49.5 per cent from the field during the ’07-08 and ’08-09 seasons — he’s even a capable rebounder for his size (4.7 RPG over his career). Of course, the concern with Paul is his durability coming off a season in which he played just 45 games and underwent knee surgery. With Paul, though, the rewards outweigh the risks… substantially.

Yes, 2009’s top pick is still a rookie, having had his entire 2009-10 season wiped out by injuries. Griffin excels at getting to the free throw line, but unfortunately sinking those freebies is still a problem, and probably the only thing – other than health – that is holding him back from becoming an NBA superstar. Still, he’s big and strong and is an excellent post player that should be a monster rebounder. Griffin’s ability to score with his back to the basket will also stead him well in the NBA. He’s completely healthy now, and ready to make his mark, and the best part is, plenty of owners will sleep on him come draft day after his lost 2009-10 campaign.

Fantasy centres are often the cornerstones of your Fantasy roster, so choosing your big men should be a task not taken lightly. When building your rankings, the first question you’ll face seems simple enough, but it’s one that has tripped up many a well-conceived strategy: Is my guy eligible at centre? Some leagues have position eligibility requirements that defy logic, so it’s important to know before your draft which players are eligible to man the post.

Ah, sleepers. We all love ’em, we all want ’em, and everyone has his own idea of how to spot ’em. We tend to favour the time-honoured method of looking for good players who were formerly mired in less-than-ideal circumstances, and now are largely free of those limitations. If we could sum up this list of under-the-radar talents in just one word, that word would be: opportunity. Many of these ten players either have relocated to a more favourable setting, or stand to be the prime beneficiary of their team’s off-season moves.
