A SIX PACK OF SLEEPERS IN THE 2014 NBA DRAFT

Posted: Jun 18, 2014 by . Filed under Blog Posts, Feature Articles | 31 Comments

Don’t snooze on these players in the draft. They are my Rip Van Winkles. Some are just flat out sleepers that may get passed over in the first round. Others are sleepers from the standpoint of I have them ranked higher than other draft junkies and maybe some teams do. Bottom line is I believe these guys “Got Game” and can play in the NBA regardless of where they are drafted.
