I gotta go with Kris Dunn, still 20 years old, putting up triple doubles in the big east. 6'3 with like a 6'9 wingspan, excellent athlete, unselfish. He looks like a less athletic John Wall / Taller Rondo.
He doesn't get the hype that others do cuz he plays for Providence and the Big East isn't even so bad this year but there isn't too many other NBA level talents. His weakness on the court is forcing passes and hot dogging a little bit so he gets a lot of TOs. But I've been watching him play and some of those are because his teammates aren't in position or aren't talented enough, it's like he is one step ahead in reading the defense. Still though he is way too lose with the ball but he can do everything else, and is improving on his jumper. Once those started going down, there's no telling how good he can be.
There is one more big question mark and that's the fact that he has had some injuries, missed almost all of last year and had some injuries in HS. Not a good sign at that age but if he can stay healthy, the way the NBA is right now, if a team lets him play through it, there is no way he doesn't AT LEAST become Touch me Teague Me

If you havent seen him play, i think providence is playing DePaul today before the Duke/Carolina game. It's not on ESPN tho , i think CBS sports network.
But ya if I was drafting right now, Dunn is in my top 10 but since peeps ain't really up on him yet, i might try to move down to late 1st and steal him.
16/4/7 with a couple of steals, easily in a couple of years

How is he a sleeper...Kris Dunn was the #1 PG in HS coming out :dahell: Only reason he wasn't one and done was because of injuries

Uncertain grounds
some international guys

Kristaps Porzingis- not really a sleeper other than people havent heard of him. hes being projected top 10 in this draft though. 7'0...fast...good shot blocker..not a great shooter from deep but can be streaky from there which shows potential..good shooter in the high post/elbow and has some nice turn-arounds and fadeaways in the post. good leaper and finishes tough. apparently was scouted by hinkie in spain in an upset win for his team..against former NBA players in barcelona i believe. potential all-star..he'll be 20 in august.

Daniel Mayr- absolute GIANT. 7'2 with shoes..9.5' standing reach. needs weight..turning 20 in july. much more of a sleeper than kristaps. i think he may have a contract issue with bayern munich (locked until 2018) but if hes eligible in this draft i could see a team plucking him late in the first and stashing him for a year or two then bringing him over.

edo muric- much further down the food chain than the above but nice all around SF prospect. great touch with his shot and can hit a variety of shots. good vision and smart. downside is he is already 23. maybe late 2nd round or camp invite but i think he could be a good role player if in the right situation. good standing reach too.

Bobby Portis......

People always wanna look at the freshmen... But he's a sophomore quietly having a great year. Should be a a late lotto pick.

Will be a solid big man in the league 10+ years

I think Tyus Jones is getting undersold a lot.

Also he won't enter the draft this year but Georgetown has a forward Isaac Copeland that I think will make a lot of noise next year.
