Second Round Sleepers In The Draft This Year

[Brankles]

I think this is one of the deeper drafts I've seen in a while. A lot of these guys going in the second round I can see becoming great role players with pretty immediate impact.

Some of them that stand out based on http://www.NBADraft.net/

Joey Dorsey
JJ Hickson
Courtney Lee
Richard Roby
Richard Hendrix
JR Giddens
Devon Hardin
Sonny Weems
Taj Gibson
Shan Foster
Jamont Gordon
Charles Rhodes
Sean Singletary
Darnell Jackson

I'm especially high on Dorsey, Hickson, Giddens, Hardin and Foster, and would love the Magic to snag one of them in the 2nd round.


Any of you guys have any sleepers that stand out to you, or any college favorites you'd like to see your team pick?

Lol you listed half the second round as sleepers.

I like Brandon Rush as a first round sleeper who could be a top 5-10 player in this draft but prob won't go that high.

i think roby is gonna be a real good player at the next level, i think he's just been put into obscurity playing in Colorado.

I love Sean Singletary too and for some reason I doubt he would be a 2nd round. Guy is gonna be a nice pro.

I also like Rhodes out of Miss State, think he is gonna be a good pro.

lol You're right.

But that's how good I think the second round will be this year. I see those guys still being on rosters in 3 or 4 years.

I'm a Rush fan too. I think he's one of those guys who will be better in the pros than in college. He's definitely got the lineage in him.

Taj Gibson and Roby are some talented players.

Shan Foster reminds me alot of Rashard Lewis with the way he plays he even has the same shooting form as him.

Re: Second Round Sleepers In The Draft This Year

J.R. Giddens = J.R. Smith

and I swear i'm not saying that because they share the same given name...

Giddens has horrible shot selection, isn't as good off the bounce and streaky. Just like Smith.

Tyrone Brazelton of Western Kentucky, who very nearly single-handedly took out UCLA in the regionals.

Re: Second Round Sleepers In The Draft This Year

I know it's looked down upon for collegiate to stay in school all 4 years, but Sonny Weems needed to. And I'll take him as my sleeper of the draft.. he's got a lot of Ronnie Brewer in him. I love his game.

Brian Roberts. The guy can flat out shoot the basketball.

Re: Second Round Sleepers In The Draft This Year

LOL @ Giddens. I will be shocked if that guy makes it in the league.

Patrick Ewing Jr. and I think with a good showing at Portsmouthhe could slip into the late in the first round.
