NBA Draft Recap: Surprises and Sleepers

This year wasn’t quite as unpredictable and crazy as some people anticipated but there were still a fare share of surprises. I’m not talking about the kind of surprises like the Timberwolves finding out the player they thought was 21 actually turning out to be 26 (I hate when that happens..), but a few first round selections were pretty unexpected.

Each year it’s also good to analyze which prospects fell too far or are underrated. It’s best to read up on the sleeper picks now and be ready when they start to turn heads in the NBA.
