2024-25 Fantasy Basketball: Roundtable debate — our favorite sleepers at each position

You can’t leave a fantasy basketball draft without taking a chance on at least a few sleepers. That won’t change for the 2024-25 draft season. Here, Dan Titus is joined by RotoWire analysts Alex Barutha and Kirien Sprecher to reveal their favorite targets with sleeper potential.

Our favorite sleeper picks at guard

Collin Sexton, Utah Jazz (Yahoo ADP: 119)

Sexton enjoyed a mini breakout in the 2020-2021 season, but injuries and a trade to Utah halted his momentum. That was until last year when the now 25-year-old vet enjoyed the second-best fantasy season of his six-year career. Sexton’s efficiency (48/39/86 shooting splits) and combination of scoring and facilitating put him on the cusp of being a top-100 player. Once he moved to the starting unit in December, his numbers improved dramatically, from 14.1 points, 2.7 boards and 3.6 assists in 22.5 minutes to 21.1 points, 2.6 boards and 5.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per night. The Young Bull is penciled in as the starting SG and, with a disrespectful ADP of 119 on Yahoo, y’all are snoozing on one of the best values in fantasy hoops. — Dan Titus

Tyus Jones, Phoenix Suns (ADP: 110)

Jones had a career year in his lone season with Washington and cracked the top 100 players in eight category leagues for the first time. He’ll have less usage with the star-studded Suns, but Jones is expected to be the primary point guard and should reap the benefits of increased floor spacing. If Jones can flirt with 50/40/90 shooting splits, dish out eight-plus assists and record a steal per game, he should easily clear his current ADP (110.4) even if he isn’t scoring at a high clip. Jones also has a strong track record of staying healthy, playing at least 65 games in seven straight seasons, including 70-plus appearances four times. — Kirien Sprecher

Jaden Ivey, Detroit Pistons (ADP: 141.2)

Ivey’s first two years in the NBA have been a mixed bag. He had a solid rookie season but lost all momentum last year when Monty Williams took over as head coach and basically decided not to play Ivey for two months. Now that Williams is gone and J.B. Bickerstaff is in, my hope is that the…
