Every year, a season of basketball goes by and there’s a player I wish I’d picked up from the free agent pool earlier in the year. These are players who enter the season with no expectations, and finish them as established fantasy stars.

It’s even more frustrating when you’ve been watching them the entire time, only to have missed out on the chance to own them because you were afraid to drop someone else that you dropped a few days later.

Who wins the crown in this category this year? As we’re a bit less than halfway into the season at this point, we’re beginning to get a clearer picture as to which players might be fly by night sensations, and which will be here to stay.

In my mind, it isn’t much of a contest this season. I believe that Kevin Love has been the player to stand above the rest of the pack. His stats are invaluable to many fantasy teams in leagues around the world.

At center for the Timberwolves, there’s Kevin Love. Not only is he one of the best rebounders in the NBA right now, averaging over 12.5 per game, but his scoring (15+) and his free throw percentage (80%) are both very impressive.

Love has one of the highest free throw percentages for a center in all of basketball, and he’s shoots some three pointers here and there too.

How many NBA centers do you know of who shoot three pointers? There’s Andrea Bargnani and Mehmet Okur, but there aren’t many others after that. Add Love to the list.

No one believed that Love would have the impact that he currently does. He’s been one of the most pleasant surprises in all of basketball, and gives fans of the Timberwolves in Minnesota something to look forward to.

It appears that the 09-10 season will be the year of Kevin Love when it comes to fantasy sleepers. He’s made it nearly impossible to vote for anyone else.
