Diamond in the rough

Who is your favorite player not rated 84+... Also if you have a deep sleeper you wanna throw in feel free.

I really like E Gordon for his perimeter defense and solid scoring ability

My deep sleeper would probably be D. West dude is not rated very high but is an absolute dynamo on offense.

Sleepers are "Specialists" imo.. for example, check out "Toney Douglas" of the Knicks

he doesn't have a high OVR, only in the 70s, but he is a deadly shooter and would probably become a 3pt assassin with just 2 training camps invested in "Perimeter Shooting"

also a favorite of mine is George Hill, another PG who isn't that highly rated OVR but his game is solid all around and is yet another marksman

there's a ginger in Houston who is also deadly from the arc, Budinger? something..

so yeah, there's good players out there you just gotta know what to look for and how they fit in your system

Jared Dudley, Give me any sort of room and I'll knock down a 3.

I also like Demar Derozan. Dude is young and he is a highflyer and a good finisher inside

[WTF]

I think Nick Young is only a 73 or so... and is an absolute beast from midrange and downtown.

J.R. Smith is that dude on offense. His ability to shoot on the fly and drive is quite masterful. Aaron Afflalo is another guy I keep in the pocket for his tenacious defense, dude is like the next bruce bowen. But my long time fav has to be Jianlian Yi, shooting over the top with that pretty rainbow to spread the defense once moved to the 4. Can also be decent at the 5 if added strength to his game

I have personal experience with Wesley Johnson, I don't think his OVR ever becomes higher than 75? but in just 1 or 2 years he becomes a "3" pt assassin, one of those players with the icons

Actually, due to the ridiculously jacked up 3pt ratings this year, he has that out of the box. As do about 7 other players on the Wolves.

My best "diamond in the rough" guy is Jerryd Bayless. You can use him similar to Rose, Westbrook, Wall, etc. Ultra quick, amazing handle, 93 layup rating, sneaky dunker, and a great shooter from mid and 3.

It's not surprising, he matches up with Rose and Wall about as well as any PG in the league in real life. He's going to have a BIG season for Toronto next year, you can quote me on that!
