NBA Fantasy Basketball 2015 Sleepers: Emmanuel Mudiay, Victor Oladipo, Mo Williams & More
The 2015-16 NBA Fantasy Basketball season is about to begin, but if you are still planning to enter a new league and join a draft, here are some of the possible sleepers this season.
Emmanuel Mudiay - Denver Nuggets
Rookie guard Emmanuel Mudiay is considered by most fantasy basketball experts as one of the top sleepers this season. Mudiay did not play college basketball, but had enough experience in the Chinese pro league to become ready for the grind in the big league.
According to Sporting News, Mudiay could have a big rookie year this season. The 19-year-old point guard, who was selected seventh overall in the draft, will have a lot of opportunities in his rookie year after the Nuggets traded former starting point guard Ty Lawson to the Houston Rockets.
Victor Oladipo - Orlando Magic
Fantasy owners should also keep an eye on Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo. With two seasons under his belt, the former Indiana standout could have his breakout year and might also become an All-Star this season.
Oladipo quietly averaged 17.9 points to go along with 4.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 71 games last season. His numbers last season are more than decent, but it will likely increase further this season, as he assumes a bigger responsibility for the Magic.
Mo Williams - Cleveland Cavaliers
Veteran point guard Mo Williams is also a good pickup in the first several weeks of the fantasy basketball season, especially if you have a spot for a guard on your roster.
Williams, who will be making his return to Cleveland, is expected to play a bigger role for the Cavaliers because starting point guard Kyrie Irving remains out indefinitely.
The 32-year-old, who averaged 17.2 points and 6.0 assists last season, is expected to score in double figures and a good number of assists because he is surrounded by shooters and scores in Cleveland. It should also be noted that Williams had 2.2 three-pointers per game last season.
Kevin Love - Cleveland Cavaliers
Kevin Love is regular fantasy contributor to any team, but fantasy owners should consider picking him higher than the usual because his numbers are expected to shoot up this season.
Love, who will be playing in his second season in Cleveland, averaged 16.4 points and 9.7 rebounds last season. LeBron James recently said that Love will have a bigger role in Cleveland -- even bigger because Tristan Thompson has yet to sign a new deal with the Cavaliers.
Deron Williams - Dallas Mavericks
Like Love, Deron Williams could also get out of his slump this season after moving from the Brooklyn Nets to the Dallas Mavericks. Williams averaged just 13.0 points last season - his lowest output since his rookie season. However, fantasy owners should also remain cautious because of his ankle issues, Peach Tree Hoops noted.
