Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

I am going to cover one sleeper at every position for basketball as drafts are coming upon us.  At point guard I like rookie Kemba Walker from U Conn.  D.J. Augustin is technically the starter right now for the Charlotte Bobcats, but I wouldn't be surprised if Walker took over as a starter early into the season.  He should put up solid numbers in assist and points.  Shooting guard its hard for me not to go with Jimmer Fredette.  His 1nd year in Sacramento could be a great asset to the Kings with his good passing and great shooting.  I wouldn't be surprised if he led the team in scoring and possibly even assists.  Small forward Corey Maggette from Charlotte is the 2nd Bobcat on this list.  With Stephan Jackson and Gerald Wallace out of Charlotte someone needs to score points in Charlotte.  With a new home for Maggette he should have a chance to put up big numbers in a lineup that wont have much else to lean on.  Carl Landry is a player that has caught our interest before.  In 2009-2010 season he had 16 points per game with almost 10 rebounds per game.  Now he has found himself in New Orleans with the disgruntled Chris Paul.  Landry was originally brought in to be a back up for David West.  When West opted out of his deal Landry is now thrown into the starting gig.  He could pay dividends if Paul is forced to stay in new Orleans.  Finally Greg Monroe is the center for the Detroit Pistons.  He had a little playing time last year and after the all star break he averaged a 13 ppg and 10 rpg.  He can become someone who will be a focal point in Detroit because that team doesn't have much else to work with to be honest.
