these are true sleepers because I haven't heard of any of them lol
Terri Miler Jr: feel is outstanding, 3P is intriguing, and he generates lots of stocks. Solid at the rim too. Problem is that he has ZERO dunks and a high foul rate at a low-level school. Think he's a summer league guy but not much more.
Probably more of an overseas guy long term. Definitely a pro.
Ben Defty: plus shot blocker who can finish at the rim and shows some flashes of non rim touch as well. Willing passer but turns the ball over a LOT. decent but not great athlete. Struggles with fouls. OK from the line.
He needs to return and transfer to a higher major school if he wants a shot at the NBA
Kevair Kennedy: He's EXTREMELY raw but has a lot of potential. Has only taken 22 threes but FT indicators are positive. Willing to take it to the rack. Draws a metric TON of fouls, including against his good games. Generates lots of stocks on defense
The feel is a mess. He can't finish at the rim. He doesn't have a midrange game. Turns the ball over way too much. Needs to shoot from 3 a LOT more. There's a very thin line for small guards and he's far from ready
Let's see where he is in 2029, but I think he needs one more year at his current school and then transfer to a high major to see if he can cut it there.
Thomas Dowd: Out of the 4 people you wrote up about, he's easily the most NBA ready prospect to me. Efficient 3 level scorer and solid high volume shooter. Great at avoiding turnovers. Shows at least some athleticism. Generates stocks vs lower competition. Doesn't foul.
He's gonna need to prove that the jumper is legit next year and also that he can keep the stock rates up versus good competition. Think he stays and hopefully he transfers. High majors should have their eyes on him
Could be draft able in 2027 depending on where he goes to.
to be honest, his production history is a gigantic red flag(albeit influenced by playing at bad schools)
I generally don't draft non power 5 guys unless they have standout traits
really like his rim finishing and stock rates plus he's shown improved feel this year. Rebounding is meh. so he's a 4 and not a 5. His shooting touch indicators aren't terrible but not great either. I wish he took more in college considering that he's a 4 year player. Fouls are decent considering high level of defensive activity
He's a summer league guy to me who probably lands overseas but I'm not ruling him out.

Another great article, Stephen
Always appreciate your support Adam!
Yeah, many of these players need to add a little more to their games. What did you think of Cam Morris??
