Joey Graham: Fantasy Sleeper

We’re heading into the final week of your Fantasy Hoops Schedule and I want to point out a “sleeper” pick to lock up your Championship, or, for my unfortunate readers out there, a way to stay out of the cellar of your pool.

With star players resting up for the playoffs or taking games off due to “injuries” most fantasy teams struggle through the last week of the schedule. If you need a start at small forward this week jump at the chance to claim Joey Graham off of your league’s waiver wire.

Heading into Sunday’s game Graham had been averaging 12.2 points and 4.6 boards over his previous five games. Against the Bobcats Graham started for the Raptors and finished with 9 points and 9 boards despite finding himself in foul trouble early in the third quarter and not playing in the fourth quarter.

The Raptors are planning on giving the rookie extended minutes during the last week of the schedule to see how much he has progressed during his first season in the NBA.
