Potential sleepers

Josh Reaves from Penn State is a really good player. I’m starting to think he’s making Tony Carr look like a better prospect than he is. He has such great reaction time, he’s quick and makes really good passes with few turnovers. He’s 23, but well worth a second round pick. He reminds me of a smaller Malcolm Brogdon.

One of the biggest steals in this draft is going to be Hamidou Diallo and I will put money on it. Even if he changes his shot, I believe he’s going to be a top 5 talent in this draft. It’s very rare that a player cares as much as him, he’s poised and mature. This year hes shown improvement and I really belive the sky is the limit for this kid. When he’s 25, 26, watch out.

Hes had a couple not very good games recently, but he’ll get better.

I think Wagner from michigan will be a sleeper he doesnt have all star caliber play but he has that frank kaminsky effect that he can ball with other bigs and he has demonstrated it against top talent this year.

I’m starting to sell myself on Wagner again. His jumpshot is looking a lot better and his explosiveness off of one foot is going to kill guys in the NBA. He also has flashes of some really nice footwork. I definitely think he’s an NBA player.

Are we sure Terence Davis isn’t a first round pick? He’s really good and he jumps off the screen watching him.

Another guy that probably won't declare but DeAndre Hunter is really intriguing.

Playing the 4 for Virginia but was a guard in highschool. Redshirt year looks like it really helped him. Has added a lot of size to his frame.

Kinda OG Anunoby ish. A bit smaller, not as much length, but I like his offensive potential more.

I really like a lot of centers in this draft. Even Udoka Azubuike. He dunks everything, but he’s explosive off of two feet. I also love guys with wide bodies, they have an advantage defending in the post.

I'm guessing he returns to Villanova next season, but if Omari Spellman can continue getting in better shape, he's a first round talent - at just about 6'9 255 with 7'2 wingspan and at least college 3 point range. Not super-quick at PF, but he's big enough to play small-ball center. And playing in a winning atmosphere has to help. Sorry if he's already been mentioned.

Yeah, players risk their lives if they try to stop him. I'd be afraid to play against him. And he's really young, so there's time for him to develop some skills.

He’s really athletic. I like him. He has a solid jumper too.

Luke Maye is quietly having an impressive season for UNC averages a double double (18 & 10)
But there still remains questions about athleticism and if he can be a factor in the league.
If he keeps throwing those Kevin Love outlet passes and remains efficient from the floor his overall ability offensively should be enough to get a 2 way contract if the season ended today. I would not be surprised if the Spurs made him into a late 2nd steal that becomes a rotation player either.

Any avery bradley types in this draft? Mavs need another guard that can create some at the two and get to the basket play solid defense to share duties with dsj, mavs like the two guard look so any combo guards out there

As far as sleepers? Maybe Khri Thomas, although he's a well known commodity at this point and will probably go mid-late first...

I'm thinking late first early second

Jevon Carter is another off the top of my head that should be available with the Mav's 2nd round pick...if you are looking for defense. If not? You are in luck. This draft seems to be stacked with scoring guards who are versatile.

Definitely need defense next to dsj

If you are looking at the Mav's 1st you might be a bit out of luck for a plus defending combo guard. The top end of the draft where you guys will be picking is flush with every other position. But again, if you are going for sleepers? Jevon Carter.

No first we need a big

I still like Diallo, but hes been pretty disappointing. Hope he’ll be able to turn it around in the NBA and be the player I know he can be.
