Potential sleepers

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I have not read many of the previous posts.

Here are some sleepers:

Bryson Scott
Jaylen Barford
Gary Clark
Damontrae Jefferson
Bennie Boatwright
Buell (Miami)
Wilkins (Virginia)


I just saw a little point guard from Stanford hit a half-court shot to win the game against USC.

Creighton University has a guard who reminds me a lot of Wes Matthews. Or is it Wesley Matthews? When you get old you remember them both.

Okay let me stay the guy on Creighton reminds me a little bit of Jimmy Butler..

Most of us know about Maryland's version of long swing-forward Justin Jackson - as opposed to the Justin Jackson who played for UNC last season. But MD's got an even better prospect in Bruno Fernando. Very energetic player at 6'10, listed at 245 but probably closer to 235. He's a better prospect than Diamond Stone was, imo - mainly because he's in much better shape than Stone. He's got surprisingly good offensive skills - aggressive scorer and shows flashes as a passer, needs to get a little stronger on the boards and should do so, good shot-blocker, he's a little over-aggressive defensively - like most freshman bigs. I expect he'll stay another year in college, but if he's offered a 1st round guarantee, who knows? The best player from Angola.

Bruno is a sleeper no more.

Thanks for bringing that up, CCJ. Bruno's now a 1st round pick on a lot of mocks. And for those who don't know, MD's version of Justin Jackson was playing with a bad shoulder for a couple of years and finally went ahead with season-ending surgery. Hopefully, we''ll see a healthy and improved version of him next season.

Hey ruthless...

Funny my voice translator did that and I'm going to leave it.

Ruz, for selfish reasons I kind of want both of Justin Jackson and Bruno Fernando to be Terrapins again next season.

With the recruits they have coming in and with players like Huerter, Morsell, and a very underrated Anthony Cowan the Terps would have at least three legit NBA prospects.

I don't think there's any way Bruno os coming back next season, though...

Eeeh I think Bruno probably comes back, there are a ton of bigs and he is not guaranteed to go in the 1st in the slightest, he is okay but he aint that versatile and his ceiling is what it is (role playing big) those guys get signed cheap each and every year, I'd probably not pick him in the 1st

Have you seen him play recently? He’s playing more power forward and is trying to expand his game. He has fluidity and he’s still only a freshman. I don’t think the jury is out on him yet. I want him to stay in college and see what he looks like next year. Mostly because this draft is pretty deep at center.

Your voice translater knows me too well.

If Fernando does leave, the pain will be eased if 7 footer Moses Brown chooses Maryland. From what I heard, MD's got the inside edge. Jalen Smith seems like a fun addition at PF next season - he's skinny, but kid has talent and charisma. I like Cowan too - he definitely has no fear penetrating, and he's starting to cut down on the to's (no more 1 on 3 drives) and develop a jumper. And Huerter might have 30 foot range on his jump shot - Brian Magid territory (pretty sure you and I are the only ones here who remember him).

Moses Brown is pretty bad though.

I want to see Fernando with Smith.

Moses Brown ain't coming to Maryland. My gut says he'll choose Kansas or Kentucky or some other school like that if he's really a five-star 7-footer. If he comes to Maryland that means he is probably Diamond Stone overrated.

How old is Santa Cruz...

The voice translator heard me say I am old and cynical and somehow turned it into how old is Santa Cruz?!??

Kevin Huerter has a chance of entering the draft. I really like him. Has great footwork. He’s being underrated for two reasons: his jumpshot (which is unorthodox, but he’s making his shots) and because he’s white (white players tend to stay in college longer). He can be an average NBA defender.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I remember Brian maggot...

Magid had the most beautiful shot I had ever seen back then. Dude was Steph Curry Trae young pure.

Off the top of my head I seem to remember him transferring from Maryland to a smaller local school where he was able to play despite having very little left lettuce ism.

Moses Brown is pretty bad though.

Sounds like a Johnny Carson punchline.

How bad is he?

Anthony Cowan actually has a better shot at being an NBA player than Romelo Trimble. I think.

Ruzious, Cowan has improved drastically since his freshman season. I dismissed Anthony as too small and unable to defend last year. You're absolutely right about the turnovers. He's cut those down. He is upping his game big time

Cowan is a master at finishing after he penetrates, which he seems to be able to do almost anytime he wants to. That's why I think he's more like Yogi Ferrell, who is in the NBA, than Melo Trimble. Melo tends to rely on free throws. Other guys score with contact. Cowan and Farrell are natural distributors and scorers, unlike Melo. Yogi's game is in the NBA and I could see Anthony in there in a couple of seasons.

I am impressed at how much better this kid is getting.

(Melo Trimble and Jimmer Fredette and the kid that used to play for the Wizards Trey Burke I would lump together as very very small shooting guards)

If I were a rich booster I would promise a kid like Bruno Fernando that if he stayed and played his sophomore season --so that he could be a teammate of "Sticks"-- (Jalen Smith); I would give Bruno a personal guarantee to take care of him, in addition to whatever insurance policies he might have in case he become injured. I would do that for Maryland University. Fernando could develop further next NCAA season, but he needs to leave if he's a definite 1st round NBA pick.

Maryland would have a beast of a team next season.

Great observations.

There is a kid that plays on Butler University's team who reminds me of Huerter. I think his name is McDermott. (No relation to Doug). Why does he remind me of KH?

Underrated because he's white.

I consider both McDermott and Kevin Huerter fringe NBA prospects.

Initially I did not think Kevin Huerter had a shot at the NBA but now I am seeing what you're saying doordoor123.

As a Maryland fan I think of Greivis Vasquez. He had a nice NBA run. Order if he gets significantly stronger can perhaps be a better version of Tomas Satoransky, who currently plays for the Wizards. Kevin is already a far better shooter.

Some translator classics there. You just can't have athleticism without lettuce... I prefer right lettuce, but left lettuce works.

That's what Duke fans probably called Brian back in the day.

Left lettuce sounds like what's in my refrigerator right now. McDonald's side salad goes bad really really quick if you put in the refrigerator...

Left lettuce sucks. Turns all brown

Pretty much. He’s not playing college basketball this year and he’s projected to go first round.

he is underrated cause he isn't long or particular great athlete, he is solid and fluid, nor has he like awesome handles, again he is okay, he is a special shot-maker and has vision but he still needs to mature physically
