Team BEE Sleepers

  

Since The King has already predicted eight possible fantasy studs (including him, excluding me) here in billy's fanball for Team Bee, I shall predict eight possible fantasy SLEEPERS, guys that are often overlooked in terms of their performance but can post solid numbers across the board each and every game.

8. PG, GF Jonathan David Crisol, Bee-Hive

One might think of King Crisol and think 20 PPG and not much else. But don't be fooled folks, last year he posted 20-5-4-2-0 with 25 threes in 9 games. That's almost 3 makes from downtown every night. This year, I see him going for 30-8-5-2-1 with 40-50 threes if they go all the way to the Finals. Plus, he should have an increase in all his percentages from last year (42% FG, 37% 3FG, 68% FT).

7. GF Juan Carlo Mendoza, Bee-Have

Speedy only appeared in two games last season because of reasons he should not explain anymore. Thus, his per-game averages stood at 10-3.5-2-4-0. Don't count on 4 SPG but count on 9-3-2-2-1 instead for at least four games. Add in 1-2 treys and 40-50 FG% and you have perhaps the best fantasy player off the bench for either team.

6. SF Ronan Paulo Enriquez, Bee-Have

Nan is a lock for 100 Bullexes per game, what more can you ask for? Seriously though, Mr. Bailamos was a solid 9.5-7.5 small forward last season. Those numbers will probably suffer a slight drop with the addition of the Hulkster this year, but expect almost 2 steals and 2 swats per game from this defensive maniac. You won't see those kind of numbers this side of Cholo "Tracy McGrady" Atienza.

5. SF Justin Timothy Jimenea, Bee-Have

Timmy was a huge question mark last year for fantasy owners, being a beast one game then a bust the next one. But this year, I feel it will mostly be beasts all the way. I'm thinking of a 10-5-1-1-1 statline with AT LEAST 40% FG, PERHAPS a three per game, and of course, around 80-90 BULLEXPG.

4. G Carl Vincent Constantino, Bee-Have

No body hair jokes for the Monster Meatball here. Mons is primed and ready for a breakout campaign in 2005 after a subpar 2004. Fantasy players are looking at an 8-5-5-2-1 with 10-15 threes from a bigger and better Meatball. Erase 26% FG, 31% 3FG and 0% FT from your memories and remember 42%, 35%, and 60% instead.

3. PG Jan Carlos Bucu, Bee-Hive

Last year, El Kapitan was only bringing 4-3-1-2-1 every game. Why? Because he was only given 15 minutes each contest. With a slight bump in burn, (an additional 30 seconds perhaps?), Jinogbili will start bringing 5-5-5-2-NA every game for the team. I mean, bring 5-5-5-2-1 every game for the team.. with a few treys and solid percents for good measure.

2. C Miguel Carlo Salonga, Bee-Have

The Mikoyster averaged 8 points and 9.2 boards on 46% shooting in five games last year. This year, I see a double-double average for him, 12 and 10, with close to 50% shooting and a block or two per game. And Mikoy WILL hit a three-point shot before the season is over. You heard it here first.

1. G William George Estanislao, Bee-Have

Ah.. the sleeper of all sleepers, Mr. Estanislao. It certainly is easy to improve when your 2004 numbers are 3-2-1-1-0 on FIFTEEN PERCENT shooting from the field, ELEVEN PERCENT from beyond-the-arc, and FORTY PERCENT from the charity stripe. But I believe Billy will blow those numbers out of the water this 2005 season. He will be good for 10-3-3-2-0.5 with a pair of threes and 50, 40, and 70 percentages.
