The Sleeper Thread

rydjorker121 · Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2003 9:40 am Post subject: The Sleeper Thread

**Put all the sleepers that you know in this thread....and by that I mean real sleepers, guys who weren't expected to contribute this season yet contributed some and consistently...I'll start....just say ONE sleeper per post, let other people have their chances, there are so many sleepers anyway I can think of...

I'll start with the obvious one:

Ronald Murray

WHY?: Compare his stats this year with last year's.....

ZACH RANDOLPH of tha Portland Trailblazers

did anyone expect this guy to be averaging Tim Duncan/Kevin Garnett type numbers? 23.5 ppg and 11.5 rpg compared to 8.4 ppg and 4.5 rpg last year? thats an unbelievable improvement over last year...i think ppl expected this guy to be good some day..but maybe not THIS good...he should definetly get most improved player of tha year this year...i wouldnt be surprised if he is an all star this year...he definetly deserves it with those #'s

ive got plenty sleepers.... michael redd, i didnt expect him to lead the bucks in scoring, i thought mason would do that. D wade, the rookie in miami is putting very impressive scoring/assists numbers of late. erick dampier has been scoring ok and grabing alot of boards. tyson chandler was having a monster season untill he got hit with back problems and has been out since like late november. larry hughes is putting all star numbers for now, i dont know if he will continue to put up those kind of numbers when arenas and stackhouse come back. A. kirilenko is having a great season along with carlos arrow or whatever. one things for sure, i did not expect BRAD MILLER to have a monster season playing for the queens, the guy is averaging 16 ppg, 5 apg, and 10 rpg.

i dont know if you guys would count lebron to be a sleeper but i never expected him to score more than 20 points this year. i thought his stats were going to be like this 15ppg 5apg and 5rpg. the kid just scored 34 on the magic, his been a scoring machine lately for the cavs.
