Now we move on to the sleepers of
the NBA Draft. These are players projected to go
in the second round, usually that’s a ticket to the NBDL as second rounders are drafted there for a reason, but we feel that these two players will make an impact when they get a chance to play in the ...

The 2009 is considered to be one of
the weaker drafts in years, but I feel there
are a few future star players that are being overlooked. When evaluating young talent, you have to draft based on what they are going to do, not so much what they’ve done. This is due to having to evaluate freshman ...

Jeff Teague enters the draft after a very
strong sophomore campaign. He averaged 18.8 points, 3.5 assists
and 3.3 rebounds a game for Wake Forest last year. Hoops are in his blood, as his dad Shawn was a standout for Rick Pitino at Boston University in the early 80’s. Shawn Teague’s name is all ...

When you get to latter part of round
one in this years draft, it starts thinning out
and players taken will be based more on potential, than their ability to contribute right away. There is also a lack of power forwards and centers, so it’s a perfect storm for Georgia Tech’s Alade ...

DaJuan Summers is a big man trying to
play a smaller mans game. Even though he is
6’8 and 240 pounds, from day one it seems he’s felt his career at the next level would be on the perimeter and he’s tailored his game around the three point shot. He’s a solid mid range and three point shooter, but ...

James Johnson is the new NBA small forward,
years ago he would have been labeled a tweener,
but today at a solid 6’7 and 257 pounds, he’s a small forward with a build much like Ron Artests. He had a solid all around year at Wake finishing with 15 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 blocks ...

Wayne Ellington was a top high school prospect,
so there was no surprise when he chose to
go to North Carolina. He reminds me of a slightly smaller Rip Hamilton, because if you give him an open look, he’ll flat out knock it down. This was personified in the NCAA Championship game, where he ...

Sam Young came to Pittsburgh as an undersized
but overly athletic power forward. In four years, he
has totally reworked his game by being the ultimate gym rat. He enters the draft as a wing player who can catch and shoot with the best of them. Young looks to me like a bigger Bruce Bowen. He is ...

Gani Lawal reminds me of a Detroit Piston
big man in the Chuck Daly era. Strong, tough,
smart and plays with a championship motor. No one tries harder than this young man, and the growth from his freshman to sophomore year proves it. He has tremendous moxie, is an excellent student and comes ...

Gerald Henderson Jr., son of former pro Gerald
Henderson is widely considered one of the best athletes

BJ Mullens is another one and done player
who is getting a lot of hate for his
decision to leave Ohio State for the NBA. His coach, Thad Matta has done everything to keep him in school, even playing him a paltry 20 minutes a game. People have questioned his attitude, his work ethic, his game and ...
