The Sleepers and Top Prospects

This following blog will be about the 2012 NBA Draft. This draft has a lot of young good NBA talent. You have Anthony Davis from Kentucky, Michael Gilchrist from Kentucky, and Andre Drummond from Conneticut etc. All of these players are still in there teens! These kids have so much potential. Drummond is compared to a Dwight Howard or Amare Stoudamire, Davis is compared to Kevin Garnett and Gilchrist is compared to Scottie Pippen. Its crazy to thing that these players could be better than the NBA players i mentioned. There are some sleepers though that i would consider if I needed a good quality starter. You have Dion Waiters from Syracuse who plays like a raw Dwayne Wade, Damian Lillard from Weber State who is a dynamic scoring point guard and has great athletism, and my last sleeper for a guard is Austin Rivers from Duke. All of these players have potential to be good starters for a team in the future. My personal favorite though out of these sleepers has to be Austin Rivers. His will to score and his heart on the court is everything you want in a player. Rivers also has the NBA bloodlines from his dad who is current head coach of the Boston Celtics Doc Rivers. This draft has the potential to be one of the better ones in the last decade, because of the talent level that is in the draft. I think that you can find atleast one good starter for years to come in the first round this year. It may take a couple years for the players to develop, but it will be there if you plan out your future for your team correctly. Thats what's great about the draft though, you can find any type of player at anytime.
