The following players should out-earn their draft position. Do realize that all the players with green in the games column in our PROJECTIONS files are targets and red are players to be wary of, but the players below are termed "sleepers" because owners in your league may not quite realize how valuable they could be. Our recommended draft position is listed first in each instance below.
CENTERS
- 42 - Bargnani, Andrea C/PF TOR - Good to start with, but could really explode once Bosh gets dealt
- 71 - Oden, Greg C POR - People will overlook him because of the injury factor, but especially in shallow leagues, just make sure you have depth at the position in case
- 96 - Hibbert, Roy C IND - Hibbert could win championships for his owners this year - GREAT preseason
- 149 - Brown, Kwame C DET - Kwame is a good one to use your last pick on in deeper leagues, as he could go 9-6-1 in DET (PTS-REB-BLK)

Player position eligibility provided by the CBS League Commissioner, a GREAT way to manage any league. It's a h2h points league where the scoring system is unique, but fairly similar to the default Yahoo points system (regarding FG%, FT%, 3s, Rb, Ast, St, Bk, TO, Pts) with 12 starters (2C-4F-4G-2FLEX) and 5 reserves. Here's how the draft went down round-by-round, with brief analysis following each round.

We put long hours of hard work into producing the following for you. May it help you win your league(s) this season!
SALARY CAP CONTEST
I've played Sports Buff Salary Cap games for almost ten years now. Last season I won their Sports Reporters/VIP Football league and got to go to Vegas for their Elite Eight postseason draft. It was simply awesome. Jeff Thomas is a class act, running the show, and everybody there had a blast.
