whos the best sleeper in nba draft?

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 11:47 AM

also like lamb from kentucky as a sleeper 2, just pick a guy named lamb after pick 10 and ur good to go.

Sleepers are hard to find. The best player with NBA potential I saw play the year before last was Georgetown's Chris Wright. He didn't even play in the league last year. He was Russell Westbrook 2.0. This year I think Moulton from Mississippi State will be really good and the wing at NC state. Did he declare for the draft?

Scott machado pg iona, kevin o quinn center norfolk state

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 11:54 AM

no leslies not in the draft. i think you are thinking of arnett moultrie from miss st, i liked him 2 myself, gona go mid-late first round.

Holtgetsback · 06-28-12, 11:55 AM

I like Will Barton

not really a sleeper anymore but Dion Waiters will be a premier player

Royce White will fall too far

Drummond will be huge bust

I like Jae Crowder too

this is really going out on a limb. these guys are gona be late 2nd round or free agents. i think o quinn could hang around the league, machado not as much.

Ryeskernatorr · 06-28-12, 11:57 AM

DJ-O from Marquette... going to be a mid 2nd round pick.

ebbearsfb1 · 06-28-12, 12:01 PM

Machado 2nd best pure pg in the draft... well that's what a sleeper is anyway a 2nd round guy who makes it big.... gilbert arenas was a round 2 guy.. and both guys gonna be mid to early 2nd round

ebbearsfb1 · 06-28-12, 12:06 PM

Easier to tell once draft is over.. lot depends on the team situation where a player goes

BigDeem5 · 06-28-12, 12:07 PM

Waiters

LostBankroll · 06-28-12, 12:09 PM

THOMAS ROBINSON WILL BE THE BEST PLAYER OUT THE DRAFT...

no shit...

No coincidences · 06-28-12, 12:10 PM

Royce White.

Cuse0323 · 06-28-12, 12:11 PM

I think Lamb is too soft for the NBA, he will camp out on the 3 point line. He doesn't have the killer instinct to make it in the NBA like the man in my avatar.

in the nba after pick 10 is a sleeper IMO. u got some decent 2nd round guys like arenas and nick van exel, but thats like hitting the powerball.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 12:25 PM

i think charlotte should deal the 2nd pick, i duno why beal is getting so much love.

PS3 · 06-28-12, 12:25 PM

It'd be Royce White for me too.

Let's get our popcorn ready, gonna be fun to see how all these players do in the NBA. Especially this year for me with 3-4 guys from Syracuse that have a possibility of being on NBA teams.

I agree, wasting a top 3 pick on a shooter. That's all he's ever been so far.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 12:32 PM

i think waiters is going to be a top 10 pick, so i wouldnt call him a sleeper.

anyways good site here for nba draft

You guys already have your picks so put em in.

ebbearsfb1 · 06-28-12, 01:37 PM

Id say outside of lottery could be considered a sleeper I guess.. andrew nicholson the bonnies

Speedy88 · 06-28-12, 04:05 PM

Terrence Ross.

ChalkyDog · 06-28-12, 04:07 PM

Nicholson. Not even a question. Guy is a top 5 talent.

ChalkyDog · 06-28-12, 04:27 PM

I am a fan of Ross' game. But he wasn't even the best player on his team in Washington, and the guy who was isn't even projected to go first rd.

Can Ross be successful? Yes. He has the tools. His success depends solely on what type of situation he lands in, not in on how much he is going to overpower his way into stardom by his ability.

Ross is the type of guy who won't have jaw-dropping stats in college, but his game translates extremely well to the NBA. He is everything you want in an NBA SG. He has size and length to guard SG's and SF's, he has unlimited range on his jumpshot, and he can finish near the basket. He needs to work on his shot selection. He settled for far too many jump shots in college and didn't take the ball to the basket enough. I don't think he'll ever be a 18ppg type of guy, but I think he is a very safe pick. I see him being a very good player in the NBA for the next 8-10 years. Very similar to JR Smith, but hopefully more disciplined.

Biggest risk/reward guy is Tony Wroten. I could see him being out of the NBA in 3 years, or an all-star in 3 years. He is a 6'5 PG who has great passing skills, and can get to the basket at will. Only problem is he can't shoot a jumpshot to save his life, and he has poor decision making skills. Would love to see a team like the Lakers take a chance on him.

2 2nd Round guys that have some skills in the backcourt

Jared Cunningham Oregon St

Tu Holloway Xavier

Dancemanmarc2 · 06-28-12, 04:35 PM

Calipari as a head coach wink

I like both of them as well. Tu Holloway is fearless, the only problem with him is that I'm not sure how well he will fit in an NBA system where he isn't the best player. At Xavier he would shoot 20+ times a game and have the ball in his hands every possession.

Cunningham has a chance to be a very good player. Great defender, and great athletic ability. Only problem is can he learn the PG position. Reminds me a lot of Russell Westbrook, when Westbrook came out of college. If Cunningham can't learn the PG position, he won't have a future in the NBA.

romecloneout · 06-28-12, 04:47 PM

william buford from ohio state

ChalkyDog · 06-28-12, 04:51 PM

I really like Cunningham's game. If it wasn't for Nicholson's ability, and his being overlooked, my vote would be for Jared every single day.

Funny seeing people voting for guys out of the lowly Pac-12.
