Draft Sleepers

[diggining]

This Basketball Prospectus article from a couple of weeks ago discusses 12 sleepers in the 2008 draft, 2 of whom might be of interest to Kings fans...

Their draft-day diary is fairly Kings-friendly as well...

wow this dude projected Thomson as rookie of the year!! I am not sure who it is but he was pleased with the kings picks.

Let's just hope that our two sleepers do not sleepwalk through the next campaign and beyond, assuming of course that Singletary even makes the cut. I am optimistic that both can be contributors to varying degrees next season, especially JT.

About the only thing I saw these 'gurus' wrote as to why Thompson was such a reach was b/c he went to Rider. Nice reason...not! If he is the best big guy we worked out, why wouldnt we draft him, regardless of what school he went to? I am pretty sure Rodman had a nice career. And yes this isnt a basketball player, but Jerry Rice is only the greatest WR of all time and went to Miss Valley State.

Besides we need someone that can help NOW. Not some 19 year old 6' 11" 190 lb twig that will take 3-4 years just to get to the point of being a contributor.
