I'll start off with mine.

KJ McDaniels. (http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/K.J.-McDaniels-41152/)

A 6'6 SG (played SF in college but I see him as a 2 in the NBA) who in college averaged, get this, 3 blocks per game :eek:, 17 points per game, and 7 rebounds per game.

He has a 37" vert, a 6'11 wingspan, is a great defender, a great rebounder, and, in 3 years of college improved his FT% from 57% to 84%...

I am also really high on Elfrid Payton though he is much more well known so I wouldn't classify him as a sleeper.

Looking forward to see who you guys have as sleepers in the draft.

I really like Khem Birch out of UNLV.

Great team defender and a solid rebounder for his size. Would love Portland to take him with a 2nd round pick.

I don't know about sleeper pick, because Zach Lavine is the most nba ready out of this entire draft. I would choose him

Khem Birch, Patric Young and Jusuf Nurkic (although he's mocked in the lottery still pretty unknown). Also think James Young will be one of the best players out of this draft

I think cocaine80s is Lavine's boyfriend, he has made numerous threads and posts trying to hype him up as the best pick in the entire draft. I think he's a solid player but nowhere near the best pick

Do you know what NBA ready means?

PJ Hairston, imo. He might become the first d-league player ever to be drafted in the 1st round. He's definitely NBA ready because of his D-League experience. PJ also has NBA size for his position. 6'5, 220 pounds. He's a pretty good scorer too. A guy who can slash and shoot

I still really love Mitch McGary's upside. If he drops to the Spurs, look out. He'd be perfect in that system with the way he passes the ball.

James Young and Rodney Hood. I think both have great potential.

PJ is my dude. I have little doubt he would have been the best SG in the country this past season. His shooting translates instantly. He was taking beyond NBA 3pters back in college and in high school. He needs to work on his handle, but his finishing pretty good and he doesn't shy away from contact. Add that with his SF sized body he will earn a lot of fouls and and 1's if he improves his handle a little. His motor can be questioned sometimes (which is why it took him so long to become a starter at UNC), tho when it's on, he's is everywhere. He can board like a mad man and he doesn't a solid job defending 2-4 (in college) when he's focused. Good shot making capability as well.

I remember watching the game and thinking he's a future star. He's the broad shoulders in 15 draining NBA 3s and dunking on people. And for reference, that was a MUST win game. Not some random conference game. Two seasons ago and I'm sure he's improved. He looked the part in the dleague when I watched.

Also still like Joe Harris.

I really like Zach Lavine. He is ridiculously raw and has some flaws in his game but his talent is nothing to sneeze at.

Patric Young I think may not go very high, but he'll be a respectable player in the league.

I'm diggin' Adrien Payne too.

After me I'd say you had the second best prediction in this thread. McGary looked dominant all summer league long and him being drafted by OKC alone makes you think that he'll develop into a good player.

Great call russ!

I admit I wasn't totally sold on the guy because I wanted a pure deep threat and from the scouting report they said it was really under developed.
But he is coming into his own with the extra playing time. I'm sold he will be a key addition to our building future.

It's like I tried to tell everyone here, but got laughed at...

I'm the resident draft expert here on ISH. Period.
