Name one draft player that will shock everyone.

[horaceworthy]

Larry Sanders, Eric Bledsoe, Devin Ebanks, and DaSean Butler will all be starters in a few years.

Dexter Pittman and Matt Bouldin will be in the NBA still in a couple years as well.

^^^No one would be shocked.

Mine would be Babbitt (top 5 in ROY voting) and Randle (emerges as a very, very good backup).

Can Babbitt really be considered a shock? The guy's been getting his fair share of hype. He put up big numbers in college and was a McDonald's All-American. It isn't like he's coming out of left field.

Bledsoe. Not that it'd be shocking, but I think he'll be a great value pick if he goes after 20

For what it's worth, he's 37 on DX's rankings.

For what it's worth, he's 37 on DX's rankings.

And 20 on their mock draft

So top 5 rookie would surprise you, no?

So he'll shock the people that only get their draft info from DX (and even they've made sure to mention that front offices seem to like Babbitt).

He's like George, neither can really be called a sleeper/shocker type pick IMO.

I don't think it'll be that shocking, but I think Whiteside is the next Ryan Hollins.

[mnWI]

I think Whiteside will turn out quite a bit better than that. Hollins barely got to a block a game in his best season at UCLA. Whiteside blocked 5.4 a game as a freshman with a much lower foul rate.

Trevor Booker could turn into a steal. Seems like the type who could shock everyone by being drafted in the first round.

I say a thicker Javale McGee

[zauchary]

Larry Sanders, Avery Bradley, Eric Bledsoe, Terico White, Sylvan Landesburgh, Soloman Alabi: I think all of these guys will turn out far better than they are being projected. And possibly Elliot Williams too.

Whiteside, Ebanks and James Anderson are the guys im not feeling at all.

Avery Bradley. He could benefit from the Westbrook hype.

[big3_8_19_21]

Brock Lesnar. I guarantee it.

I'm a big proponent of a 'put all your eggs in one basket' approach to life. It's risky, but when I'm right I look like a total badass.

All you raggedy fools will be praising me when kids start getting viking swords tattooed on their chest with their Wizards "Lesnar" jerseys.

P.S. I'm back.

[Devilzsidewalk]

Avery Bradley. He could benefit from the Westbrook hype.

how does he benefit by being smaller and less athletic
