Patrick McCaw has become a sleeper, that guy shouldn't be a 2nd rounder. I have never seen anyone mention Malcolm Brogdon around here. Another sleeper.

Both should go 1st, agreed, I have come around McCaw givin UNLV struggles he is impressive, like his shooting form and defense, he can create too, he is a top20 guy for me.

Not only that, he's great at shooting off screens. I also love love his potential on defense. He pokes the ball out a lot and that's going to be very useful in the NBA. I agree he's a top 20 guy. I just have a hard time putting him ahead of people that are projected to have a lot of interest. I'm unsure about Brogdon. He has good size and has shown he can score, but I'm skeptical of most players that come out of Virgina as seniors. He's also already 23 and I don't see much upside.

How about the fact that he's a shot-blocking machine? Chad Ford's latest big board had him in the 20s, so expect him to stop being a sleeper soon.

The only question is his defense. Can he defend 3s?

I didn't have him on my radar before but A.J. English looks like an interesting prospect. Rates as of the 5 or 6 best shooters in the draft if you take into account 3P%, 3pt volume and FT%, 6'9 wingspan, put up strong numbers

The more I see of Wade Baldwin, the more I'm shocked that he's not more highly projected.

6'3" with a crazy 6'10" wingspan. Plays great defense and shoots 40% from behind the arc while taking 3 per game. On top of that, he's only 20 years old.

He is going top10, he has been in my top10 for a while now

If i were to point a sleeper it would be Rade Zagorac.Kid didn't had much luck with injuries but he can definitely play.Very skilled,high IQ,decent handle and shooting ability, all-around G/F, he needs to get stronger and bulk up to get NBA ready body.Projected late 2nd to undrafted.

should def be drafted he is long athletic and can do a bit of everything plus positional versatility, he can play anywhere from 2 to 4 in today's game

Yeah, Zagorac is good. If I was the GM and had the second round pick, I'd for sure draft & stash him. He needs to get stronger though, his body is nowhere near ready. One more year in Europe to work on his body and could be NBA ready next year definitely.

Jaron Blossomgame needs a lot of help. I watched Malachai Richardson's workout and then his and Richardson looked like a legit player compared to Blossomgame. I just think Blossomgame will need a lot of D-league time and I could see him not even making the league.

He also is the son of a former NBA player of the same name.

He's a good prospect.

Doesn't look like he has any draft buzz but I was thinking Nikola Ivanovic is worth a look. He's the most productive of all the Mega Leks guys

Think he is auto-eligible this year.I dont think he gets drafted, possibly summer league invite if he decides to try it.

Apologies if it's been brought up already, but this guy looks like he could surprise from the 2nd round (or even undrafted).

^^ yes Boucher seems like a good guy to gamble on with a late second rounder.
