What I mean is who will do much more than people EXPECT being picked in the 1st Rd

Thaddeus young is my sleeper in the 1st rd the knicks should trade up and get this potential superstar



Highlites of what he would bring:

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I agree. He's very athletic, has good range on his j, shows some defensive ability and rebounding ability. He's going to be a complete player in time.

I'll take Oden as my sleeper then.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Did you not read where I said :

Stop being so silly, does the Majority expect him to be a star ?

I think in this case, sleeper means unlikely pick for Knicks....but could be a surprise pick.

Thad Young has no shot to fall to us.

But if I could pick a sleeper that is a pick for the Knicks that no one is mentioning, it would be more along the lines of Affaolo or Tucker.

I didn't think Thaddeus would fall to us, I was more thinking of us have to trade up to get him.

That is what I wish we would do.

Ive said it 20 times Glenn Davis--he hasnt been mentioned and has sat in the 2nd round in the mock drafts all year Glenn Davis has very unusual quickness and agility for someone who weighs 290 pounds with a good touch pretty long arms

Like Mark Jackson's says he's better than that

I'm going to list a second round sleeper here, since I don't think it's worth starting another thread. He's Nick Fazekas. He's a 20-10 guy in the second round. His numbers are a little suspect due to the strength of competition, but he does rebound well, he does have good range on his jumper and he has good post up skills. His defense isn't great, but it's probably better than some of our big men.

All in all, I like the package for a second round pick. He's not a future all star, but I think he'll be a solid player who could crack some team's starting lineup.

LOL, the guy can be argued to be the second most talented smallforward behind Durant.

Oliver Miller was all the above but big baby lost weight to make himself more of a complete player.

With him it depends on what team he goes to and style of play the present.

Question, does big baby like to eat alot ala Mike Sweetney? Big question there !

i thought sleepers were reserved for the second rounds


Sleepers who come out of the second round rarely, rarely turn into superstars! As a matter of fact, it's almost non existent. That's why they're in the second round. Oh yeah! The Knicks are in the second. Nice trade Thomas!
I'll never trust this' team again.
