Under the Radar Prospects 

Post#1 » by JazzP » Fri Dec 8, 2023 11:48 pm

I wanted to highlight some players that come from mid or low major programs that aren't generally on mock drafts that are future professionals in some capacity. Whether they are sleeper 2024 candidates, future draft candidates, or guys that might compete for an NBA job at a training camp, I think these players all could receive NBA consideration.

The little FIC ratings and best/worst games obviously don't tell the complete picture of the skillsets and potential NBA roles, but I think it's a cool snapshot.

Anyways, if that wasn't enough names, here's a few international prospects in less prominent leagues too:

Hansen Yang (who I will scream from every mountaintop should be a clear 2024 draft prospect)
Roberts Blums
Orri Gunnarsson
Zach Harvey
Felipe Inyaco
Noah Sorensen
Yasser Kamayengue (did not actually declare as the reference page suggests, he was born in 2005 and the 2024 draft will be the first that he is eligible for)

The only player I've heard of is Xavier Johnson and he's a baller for sure. I do think he can make an NBA roster although he's been around awhile.

Is Toppin really a 2005 bday? What's his exact birthday? He's a Lottery pick potentially if that's true. You're missing Kwame Evans Jr. Mgobo definitely one to watch as well.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Adama Bal

mentioned him the last two years when he was at Arizona but never really got the minutes to put together anything but he transferred to Santa Clara this year and is playing well, 6-6 wing who projects as a solid shooter, still waiting to see on the D part.

don't think 1st round is a possibility for him (older than J-Will and Podz, and not as athletic) but might be a nice 2nd round flyer.

Thanks for this. This is a real "under the radar" list. Not sure the responses really get it, a lot of four and five star guys mentioned.

I'm pretty sure UNM made a tweet wishing him a happy 18th in July, that's about all I have to go off of because I don't think his bday was listed anywhere.

Yeah I got his bday after that post. He's 2005! Very young.

5th year guy but Jalen Bridges is intriguing as a second round flyer (like Jalen Slawson last year) as an older rotation guy possibly.

I like him a lot. Reminds me of Mark Price. I think he might be in the mix for a lottery selection so not sure he's really under the radar.

Dadiet is another guy who is under the radar
