    Default Who is your 2014 NBA Draft Sleeper?

    I think Zach LeVine is going to make an impact in the NBA within a few seasons. He's a guy that's going to score from 3 and at the rim, so he fits the trend for a lot of NBA gaurds nowadays. His body and athleticism remind me of John Wall.

    The main reason he's a sleeper is because he didn't start at pg for UCLA due to Klye Anderson, and he didn't get to handle the ball on the second unit because of Alford (coaches son) being a useless little prick.


    edit: Patric Young. He's such a well rounded defender

    Nick Stauskas. Shocked me how good he was. Didn't expect a White guy to do all those things.

    I like Stauskas a lot too. You would expect him to just be a great shooter, but he's got a really nice all-around game. Excellent passer, good rebounder for his position, crafty around the basket.

    Could end up being a better version of Kyle Korver, not that he should only be compared to white guys. But, I'd take that in a heartbeat.

    LaVine and Stauskas are both potential lottery picks. How does that qualify as a sleeper?

    My picks. DeAndre Kane and Markel Brown

    Stauskas is projected by DraftExpress to go 16th and LaVine is 30th. But, I get your point if you're talking about second round-type sleepers.

    I like Sam Dekker's upside if he declares. It also doesn't seem like James Young is getting a ton of notice. I like his ceiling.

    James McAdoo has fallen off so much he's a sleeper. He has top 15 talent. Paul Millsap of this draft.

    LaVine

    Jordan Adams will be the Bruin Sleeper, if he remains in the draft. Dude can score almost anyway you can think off, and plays the passing lanes real well. If he can improve his handles, he'll be a great sixth man/fringe starter for years to come.

    I like Adams too but I don't think his ceiling is anything special

    I'm sorry but I personally can't see Lavine being any good. I don't really know why either.

    poor midrange game. Settles for jumpers too often. Skinny. There are definitely knocks on the kid. It just seems to me like he'd fit right in with the direction the NBA is going. Loves to shoot 3's from set or off the bounce, shown ability to get to the rim with his quick, long strides.

    I think he will also benefit from the level of passing and floor spacing in the NBA. Maybe a skinny James Harden?

    Are we talking sleeper like serviceable player for a decade or more? Then yea he could do that. If were talking Kawhi Leonard/Isaiah Thomas level sleepers then nah. I don't think anyone can really predict those though. I know I LOVED Kawhi in the draft but I did not think he'd be this good this quickly. ****in Spurs man. Can I just choose whoever they draft as my sleep candidate?
