Here are some names likely to outperform their draft position
At 805 p.m. EST tonight, Kevin Broom and I will be going over the NBA Draft prospects we are higher on than consensus and would like the Wizards to take somewhere in this draft (or even as undrafted free agents).
We will each name three players we see as “sleepers” compared to their consensus ranking and explain our respective thinking behind why we like those players. And conversely, why we aren’t as concerned about potential red flags that may have lowered their stock in the eyes of draft analysts. We’ll also take some live questions from the YouTube chat for anyone following along in real-time.
In past years, a few of the players I’ve advocated for here on Bullets Forever have aged pretty well, including: Santi Aldama, Miles McBride, Andrew Nembhard, Paul Reed Jr., Austin Reeves, Marcus Sasser Jr., and Vince Williams Jr.
Some of the others, well, not so much. Kendall Brown, Lamine Diane, Justinian Jessup, Jaden Springer, and Robert Woodard II didn’t work out quite as well for me. Essentially, when I whiff, I like to go all-out.
So tune in to find out if we pick out the next Justin Champagnie or the next Issuf Sanon!
