2021 NBA Draft Sleepers

[DCasey91]

To me it's Tre Mann by a landslide. I haven't seen this guy ranked higher than late lottery and he's 5th on my draft board.

Whoever gets him is going to very happy. Showed serious improvement this year.
The thing I’m excited about is his polish shows to me a high level of maturity. He’s a good one

CJ 2.0 is a great outcome imo.

Want to see if he is shooting guard size.

Scottie Barnes is going to be one of the best defenders in the league, his defensive instincts at his age are off the charts. That combined with his body. When his offense comes around he’s going to be one of the best players in the draft.

[EvanZ]

Barnes could be Looney on defense with more playmaking on offense. Not sure his scoring will ever "come around" as he just doesn't have the athletic juice. Kyle Anderson feels like a fairly good comp overall tbh.

In other news, Miller is out at Arizona. My hope is this prods Mathurin to declare.

Aaron Henry
Roko Prkacin

[kobyz]

Robinson-Earl - totally reminds me Clifford Robinson as a player

[Catchall]

I like Mathurin at Arizona more than I liked Harrison Barnes coming out of UNC.

Where are we at with Mitch Ballock? Anyone see an NBA future?

For my part, I'm looking towards:

Sandro Mukashavili-
Versatile playmaking 4/5 with advanced playmaking abilities, crafty scoring, and strong passing/ vision ( poor man's Jokic)?

Rayquan Gray-
Strong, versatile, multipositional playmaking forward with strong ballhandling and playmaking skills. Great glue guy and utility forward in the Draymond Green mold.

Nashon Hyland-
A strong scorer with good shooting mechanics and effortless range. Has good ballhandling skills and plays solid ( POA) defense. Reminds of a slightly smaller Jamal Crawford perhaps?

Jay Huff-
Great size at 7'1 with a 7'5 wingspan. Solid mobility and fluidity. Plays with great energy and intensity! Reminds of a rich man's Frank Kaminsky with actual athleticism, intensity, defensive prowess and testicular fortitude!

[Mark_83]

The Champagnie brothers are my sleepers.

Justin in particular is an analytics darling:

27.2 per, .204 ws/40, 8.5 bpm.

He has great size for a guard, and his rebounding numbers for a guard are impressive. If he can improve his three point shot to at least his brother's level he could be a stud.

Not a chance. G-League at best.

[Kobblehead]

David Johnson

One of the best creators in the draft and has legit size for the SG position.

Knocks are defense and proven shooting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one mentioning Jay Huff - I'm convinced he'll make it in the NBA. Love his defense, ability to step out and hit the 3, and general intelligence. Actually, I'll go with all 3 of the UVA players. In order, I'd take Hauser, Huff, and Murphy. They're all older prospects, but so was Brogdon. When comparing their stats to other players, use the per 100 possessions stats, because UVA plays at such a slow pace. Otoh, their players will have to adjust to a faster pace in the NBA. Watch Hauser be just as good as Kispert as a rookie.

But not a sleeper.

Deep deep sleeper. We're talking REM sleep state.

There are more of us on the Huff train. I hope the Kings can grab him with their second. A big that blocks shot and shoots threes. Value.

I have Mann in my top 10, on the edge of 7-8th right after the top concensus top 5 of (not listed in order: Mobley, Green, Kuminga, Suggs, Cade).

Max Aßmas is my sleeper of the year. Don't think Max will ever be a star, but I think he has a high chance of becoming a Lou Williams type of player, career 6th man/6MOY type of player.

Bryn Forbes is on his 3ed league contract... and will make at $12 Million over his NBA career. I will not say, not a chance...
