What the modz need to answer for is what my real rep power is. This is ****ing ridiculous.

Wow, I leave this place for a couple of hours and this gets completely derailed.

Let's focus peeps.

I want Wiggins. Exum is rising in my book. Parker is now #4 for me.

Cy is copying my selection from last season.........

Is Tyler Ennis a better pro prospect than Trey Burke?


Chad Ford: Probably. That's the take I get from most NBA scouts. I think the analytics support that as well. But it's debatable.

Honestly it's pretty tough nowadays to find sleepers, because draft scouting has expanded so much more in the last decade in terms of due diligence.

You didn't finish a school project in 4th class? The GM finds out. You didn't like ball games in kindergarten? Your kindergarten teacher might snitch...
(That's obvi hyperbole in case someone doesn't get it - It's just more funny for me to make a point like this)

Best shot is getting lucky and finding a late bloomer(that's what I think Paul George was. Bird admitted they never thought he'd become this good this fast)

Damian Lillard is the best case in the last 5 years of a guy that got overlooked for some reasons. Talent was there, just everybody read "Weber State" on his jersey and jumped to conclusions.

Debatable, but I guess it is how you define "sleeper" Look at 2009 so you have some history/ data on players. Curry was 7 (as much of a sleeper as Lillard was at 6), Derozan 9, Jrue 17, Teague 19, Taj Gibson 26. All preceded by far inferior players. No way to predict NBA success, but I agree scouting and analytics have improved team's ability to predict.

2010 produced 40th pick Lance Stephenson....

This.


There will always be guys who are "hungry" enough to get better and thrive in their new environment. For them, the NBA isn't the goal, it's the start line.

I thought we were talking superstar top30 player in the league potential.
And then this would limit it to Curry and DeRozan, which were in the same range as Lillard BUT 2009 was still the time when isolation hero ball was expiring on most franchises.(Kobe was finals MVP that year...)

I'm btw not disagreeing, just putting it into context.

And most executives that opened up publicly about their luck or mistakes admitted they didn't expect that amount of success out of the individuals they took a chance on.

Bryan Colangelo say what you will about him as a GM, he has a very good eye for talent picking Shawn Marion and Stoudemire both with the 9th overall pick.


I would say those are definitely diamond in the rough type picks.

A decade ago when the internet was run by 56k modem which made sounds like when you work on metal with another metal tool and 1 gigabyte was huge data storage ;)

Also I'd argue that Shawn Marion was a superstar. He's a very valuable complimentary player.
