NBA draft...got any sleepers?

[joebatters]

I've got one...Edmund Sumner...Xavier
A tall (6'7'') PG...quick, fast, fluid..very good basketball sense..very good at getting to the rim. Not a good shooter, but can probably make himself into one. Season cut short with acl injury. Probably 1st rounder if not for that. Could be a real nice pick for someone in 2nd round. I think he might be a really good NBA player.

monk is going to be really good IMO and the sixers are gonna fuck it up and for some reason not go get him

Caleb Swanigan. Defense and fierce rebounder.

Hell be someone who goes 12-20 or maybe worse. And the bottom feeders taking European guys who won't play for 4 years wonder why they can't ever win

Agree 100%. Monk is going to have a better NBA career than Fultz.

Semi Ojeleye is my sleeper pick, a slightly shorter version of Kawhi Leonard.

So whack that most books wont allow you to parlay these. Who the fuck wants to lay this juice. These props suck. I'm pissed because I feel like I am going to nail 75% of the first 10-12 picks to the exact teams. My favorite prop looking at it two days ago was Luke Kennard Under 12.5 at -170. Now it is -255 so I'll probably say fuck it. I had the line at about -300 in my head so the value isn't what it was but probably will still hit. Lefty's are tough covers, period. He is good on the pull up off the dribble, off the catch, and in the lane. Can shoot it from anywhere. But honestly his build is why I think NBA teams will be drawn to him, he is 6"6 but with wide shoulders. You can tell this kid is going to fill out some like Gordan Hayward did. Luke Kennard will be a quality NBA player imo and I would be shocked if he didn't go in the top 12.

This is how I have it..... my mock draft... and where I think they will go


1. Fultz
2.Ball
3. Tatum
4. Josh Jackson
5. Fox
6. Monk
7. Ntilikina(France)
8. Dennis Smith JR.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

If the Knicks don't take Dennis Smith Jr. They are the biggest idiots in the world. Sometimes it is tough to project what these idiotic teams will do though. There is a reason they all suck, minus Boston.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]1. Philadelphia 76ers[/h]

Markelle Fultz, Washington, Point guard, 6-4, 190 pounds.

​

Comment: The Sixers swapped picks with Boston and gave up a future first-rounder to get Fultz. There will be pressure on the guard to prove his worth fast, but that pressure isn’t expected to come from the Sixers.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]2. Los Angeles Lakers[/h]

Lonzo Ball, UCLA, point guard, 6-6, 190 pounds

​

Comment: The Lakers have eyed the point guard of Big Baller Brand fame since landing the second overall pick in the draft lottery. The Los Angeles-area native has never been to a Lakers home game.

 

[Greenbacks]

3. Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum, Duke, small forward, 6-8, 205 pounds

​

Comment: Somewhat of a surprise the Celtics choose Tatum over Josh Jackson. The St. Louis native, however, is skilled, long and athletic with a huge upside.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]4. Phoenix Suns[/h]

De’Aaron Fox, Kentucky, point guard, 6-4, 170 pounds

​

Comment: The Suns love Fox, but he would be unhappy to join this guard-laden young team. The Suns had better move guard Eric Bledsoe to allay Fox’s disappointment.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]5. Sacramento Kings[/h]

Josh Jackson, Kansas, small forward/shooting guard, 6-8, 205 pounds

​

Comment: The Kings will be jumping for joy. Sacramento has found its new superstar in this future All-Star.

 

[Greenbacks]

6. Orlando Magic

Jonathan Isaac, Florida State, small forward/power forward, 6-10, 210 pounds

​

Comment: New Orlando Magic general manager John Hammond, formerly with the Milwaukee Bucks, loves length. Isaac fits the Hammond bill and doesn’t have to leave his home state.

 

[Greenbacks]

7. Minnesota Timberwolves

Lauri Markkanen, Arizona, power forward, 7-0, 230 pounds

​

Comment: Word is Markkanen would love to go to the Wolves to join forces with fellow 7-footer Karl-Anthony Towns. But keep an eye on North Carolina State guard Dennis Smith here too.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]8. New York Knicks[/h]

Malik Monk, Kentucky, shooting guard, 6-3, 200 pounds

​

Comment: The New York Knicks are high on guards Monk, Smith and Donovan Mitchell. But perhaps the athletic and crafty Monk, the best scorer in college basketball, could be good in the triangle offense.

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]9. Dallas Mavericks[/h]

Frank Ntilikina, France, point guard, 6-5, 190 pounds

​

Comment: The Dallas Mavericks have had their eyes on the Frenchman for weeks now and land a desperately needed point guard for the future despite Yogi Ferrell’s surprise play at the position.

Lauri Markkanen, Arizona, power forward, 7-0, 230 pounds

​

Comment: Word is Markkanen would love to go to the Wolves to join forces with fellow 7-footer Karl-Anthony Towns. But keep an eye on North Carolina State guard Dennis Smith here too.

forgot about this dude. He should be good

 

[Greenbacks]

[h=3]10. Sacramento Kings[/h]

Zach Collins, Gonzaga, power forward/center, 6-11, 230 pounds

​

Comment: The Sacramento Kings have been ridiculed for continually drafting big men. But in Collins, Sacramento gets a future starter who could fill ex-Kings star DeMarcus Cousins’ mammoth old shoes.
