Boy, serious hoop junkies do appreciate you, maxwell . Great stuff. Thank you. AND...my three favorite sleepers are also yours (well, two of them). Isiah Crawford. I feel like everyone has their eye on this kid. I thought he'd be drafted. The other one is Riley Minex.....who I think is a kid I just would not bet against. He manages to make his presence felt. Smart , too,. And Malevy Leons, who I have tracked for a while (I have euro connections being here half the year). Leons i thought would get talked about more. He is super defender and nothing in his shot screams broken, so I dont see why he cant improve. And why was keshad Johnson not drafted? I mean thats a mystery. I thought he'd go top half of the 2nd. He is going to stick in this league. Unless there is stuff i cant see, he is an NBA player.

First off, thanks for reading!

I'm right there with you on Keshad Johnson. The second round can be kind of funky in terms of contract negotiations, so I don't put too much weight into guys going undrafted at that point. I've only heard positive things about him, so highly unlikely that it's anything beyond that.
