Sleeper Prospects

[CP War Hawks]

Is it just me or does he not get much lift?

It seems that way, but the results don't lie. He blocks wind back dunks, bigmen shooting 3s, floaters, hook shots, etc. He must have a high standing reach. I'm itching to see him go against NBA caliber prospects.

Just watching him for a few minutes, he looked like a 5 who won't be quite big enough to do it in the NBA. Didn't look 6'10 honestly, is that a real measurement?

Can't really verify until he gets combine tested. He seems to still be growing at 19 yo.

Gabriele Procida
Bryce Mcgowens

I like McGowens in a few years, would love to grab him in the 2nd round.

This is not a draft with much depth. I personally think he decides to come out this year and he gets taken in the 1st. If he did decide to come back and improves his shooting and shows some more on ball he could go pretty high but I personally subscribe to its best to just get taken in the 1st round and leave earlier.

Not sure I agree.

There is always talent to be found.

Ryan Rollins
Jalen Cook
Jalen Williams (Santa Clara)
David Roddy
Isaiah Stevens
Terry Roberts
Norchad Omier

These are real sleepers. All these other guys being mentioned were top recruits and talked about for years now.

Williams, Roddy, and Rollins all heading into the draft. Not sleepers anymore.

I came in here to talk about hoping the Warriors snag Procida in the 2nd round... but I'm starting to sense that when this is all said and done he won't be available for their 1st round pick...

Scheireman would be a good 2nd round target.

Never seen him play so will take a look. His numbers look absurd

He's a better version of Jessup. Really really fun player. I don't know if he has the athletic tools to translate, but he might. Especially if you can get him late second or even as a UDFA, he's got a shot to make a roster as a two-way.

Aminu Mohammed, SG/SF ranked tenth by Nbadraftroom.com as a small forward

Profile by nbadraftroom

Aminu is a two-way player who is a powerful athlete, very instinct on the defensive end and capable of guarding all over the court. He fits the role of a small ball 4 and plays on the wing as well.

He’s a very intriguing athlete with a ton of upside ability. Aminu can get to the rim well on the offensive end and shows a natural feel for the game and a willingness to pass the ball out of traffic. He’s got a lot of play-making ability and knows how to keep the ball moving.

He can play above the rim with ease and is a dynamic transition player and good off-the-ball cutter.

The form on his jump shot is good but he’s not yet hitting the outside shot with any consistency. The ability is all there but his offense remains a work in progress.

I would like to redact this statement. I do believe there is a full 1st round and a lot of depth.

I have too many sleepers at this point.

Could you list a few for me to look for?

So its hard to constitute what is a sleeper with everyone's rankings whether it be here or another site being different.

I just looked at CBS and the Ringers current mocks so I am going to go off of them.

I still have Gabrielle Procida as my main one and I see him as a lottery talent.

I see Dalen Terry getting talked about more and see him as a top 20 guy potentially but he wasn't in the mocks.

Jalen Williams has been getting more hype and I could see him breaking into the lottery potentially but being mocked later.

Max Christie wasn't in the mocks and I see him as another top 20 guy.

Ryan Rollins I see as a 1st rounder who isn't mocked there.

Christian Braun I see as another 1st who isn't mocked there.

So these aren't like unknown guys but a few guys whom come to mind that are mocked later than they should be by a significant amount imo.

Those look pretty solid to me.

How about Nembhard or David Roddy?

So if all these guys are 1st round talents, that means several players projected as 1st rounders should be rated lower...

In your opinion - who are those guys?

I havent watched much ncaa this year except for the tournament.

For me I can see a number of guys that will get picked too high and bust relative to their draft position.

I’m picking Wendell Moore and AJ Griffon to bust. Also the pf for Purdue, Trevion something I think. Banchero reminds of Billy Owens a little and I expect a similar career arc.

I do think Dyson Daniels will be a good pro

[SelfishPlayer]

Dalen Terry because he attended a big time university with multiple talented teammates which depressed his production. IMO He has too much length and feel for the game to not have a full NBA career. Sometimes guys are sleepers for obvious reasons like being an international prospect or playing for a non major school. Terry was right in our faces the entire time and may be better in the NBA.

I like Nembhard, I could see him cracking a rotation as a back up, 2nd rounder for me.

Roddy is interesting, I guess maybe a small ball four for certain lineups could potentially work. He also feels like a 2nd rounder to me potentially. I think I would be concerned with whom he is defending.

Looking at Kevin O'Connor's mock on the Ringer, I would take Trevor Keels, Christian Koloko, Marjon Beauchamp, Kennedy Chandler out and there are others but it's all really debatable.

To me though, if you said you can have Gabrielle Procida, Dalen Terry, Max Chrisite, Christian Braun, Ryan Rollins all of whom are not in the mock and Jalen Williams who is at 27 over those guys named to take out I wouldn't think twice. That is just me though.
