Top Ten Fantasy Basketball Sleepers for the 2015-16 Season

8. SF/PF: Thaddeus Young, Brooklyn Nets

Often the toughest thing to acquire once you near the midway point of a fantasy draft is consistency. Thaddeus Young provides just that, and is the type of player who night after night will provide fantasy owners with strong numbers.

Brooklyn, once owners of the highest payroll in the league, is in a transition period. Gone are the likes of Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett, and there was talk all summer of Joe Johnson possibly being shopped.

All of this leads to an increased role for the veteran Young. Look for him to regain his form as possibly the Nets’ top scoring option, and a return to his last season in Philadelphia in which he averaged nearly 18 points-per-game.

Next: Julius Randle
