Terence Furguson maybe the sleeper draft pick. OKC may got a winner.

Granted, the Thunder still needs loads of help and I am sure Presti is trying to look for additional pieces that can help Westbrook out, but this draft pick maybe the sleep pick of the draft. The skills and versatility he has, especially someone who can shoot as well is a HUGE benefit. Plus, he's from Tulsa so he got the entire city and most likely the state behind him.








and he's ill on the dunks too.... definitely one to peek for the slam dunk contest

Dude hurt his stock by going overseas (although let's be honest, he probably didn't have a choice). A legitimate 3 and D guy with athleticism who would have thrived at Arizona. Surprised Bilas didn't even mention him as one of the best shooters in the draft, but that's what going overseas and being buried on the bench does for you I guess.

I feel you that not going to college hurt his stock. I dunno about being buried on the bench when he was able to get THAT much attention to be a 1st round draft choice in general. Because he played professional overseas is why I feel he's a sleeper pick. I think too many of these organizations put too much stock onto college prospects than they should, and even with that that stock is mostly either who's the most visible or he's the most hottest of the moment on a college level.

Someone with the diverse skillset and is only 19 SHOULD OF BEEN way higher than he was drafted. That is without question, IMO. So, I am pleasantly surprised that OKC snatched him up.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Could be a great 3-and-D player. Can shoot it and has a ton of defensive talent. Loaded with tools. He's long and extremely bouncy, he'll be feasting running the break with :youngsabo: and getting free dunks in transition
