Identifying undervalued players and sleepers depends a lot on your league and the default platform. This year, ESPN and Yahoo have some wide ADPs, so I’m just going to reference Fantasy Pros’ composite ranks. Once draft season starts, I’ll be doing the usual Exploiting the Default Ranks articles for ESPN and Yahoo. I’ll put in my rank next to the players, so that should help with how much I think those guys are being undervalued on the platform you’re drafting on.
There are a lot of names on here, so I’ll just run through them quickly. Plus, as news comes in, I’ll be updating the Top 150, and adding notes in the Change Log.
Undervalued players in the top 50
Devin Booker (7) – The Suns are clearly Booker’s team, and he’s been able to improve his passing stats in each of the last five seasons. Despite reports of Jalen Green being the “point guard” for the Suns, it should still be Booker running the show in what I expect to be a solid offense from coach Jordan Ott. The Suns don’t have their pick, and there’s no way Mat Ishbia folds his hand unless the Suns are out of the play-in. Booker was third in the NBA in minutes per game last year, and he’s a decent bet to be first this year.
James Harden (8) – While the Clippers did add some depth, Harden’s role should still be locked in with this team. Even if we get a healthy Kawhi Leonard, we saw Harden go berserk down the stretch with a 25/6/9 line in his 28 post-break games. He’s been healthy when he doesn’t want to be traded, so expect Harden to hit the ground running here.
