Power Forward (PF) Sleepers - Top 3

Ryan Anderson - Orl - pf/c

Entering his fourth season in the NBA, Anderson emerged as a solid contributor for the Magic last season and he will look to continue to build upon his success. Offering outstanding three point shooting ability, Anderson at 6-10 and 240 is a constant mismatch for opposing defenses every game. With the potential to rack up two three pointers per game, Anderson and his power forward and center eligibility in fantasy basketball leagues, offers an outstanding amount of value in fantasy basketball lineups.

2010-2011 Stats: 43.1 fg% -- 10.6 ppg -- 2.1 3pt -- 5.6 reb -- 0.8 ast -- 0.5 stl -- 0.6 blk

2011-2012 Projected Stats: 43 fg% -- 15 ppg -- 2.5 3pt -- 6.0 reb -- 0.8 ast -- 0.5 stl -- 0.5 blk

Tyler Hansbrough - Ind - pf

The Hansbrough name surely is not a sleeper item in fantasy basketball leagues, but if you can get him at a reasonable price in your fantasy draft, then Hansbrough certainly could net you a solid return. With the Pacers signing free agent David West to start at power forward, Hansbrough will likely find himself coming off the bench for the Pacers this season. However, if Hansbrough can play around 25 minutes per game, then he could easily rack up some solid and efficient stats for fantasy basketball teams this season.

2010-2011 Stats: 46.5 fg% -- 11.0 ppg -- 0.0 3pt -- 5.2 reb -- 0.6 ast -- 0.5 stl -- 0.2 blk

2011-2012 Projected Stats: 45 fg% -- 12 ppg -- 0.0 3pt -- 6.0 reb -- 1.0 ast -- 0.5 stl -- 0.2 blk

Tyrus Thomas - Cha - pf/c

Bumbling through a very disappointing and underachieving NBA career thus far, Thomas is seemingly a perennial sleeper pick in fantasy basketball leagues from season to season. Entering the 2011-2012 season in Charlotte, Thomas who is still just 25 years old has plenty of upside to finally break into the realm of becoming a solid stat contributor in fantasy basketball lineups.

2010-2011 Stats: 47.1 fg% -- 10.2 ppg -- 0.0 3pt -- 5.5 reb -- 0.7 ast -- 0.7 stl -- 1.6 blk

2011-2012 Projected Stats: 46 fg% -- 10 ppg -- 0.0 3pt -- 6.0 reb -- 0.8 ast -- 1.0 stl -- 1.5 blk
