NBA Draft: Sleeper, Steal, Or Bust!!!

Jordan McKittrickJun 11, 2008

Every year when the draft comes around each team has to take a look at all aspects of a player and then hope that they are not going to be the next "Big Country" Bryant Reeves, Kwame Brown, or Sam Bowie. 

So I decided to look at this years draft and tell you who is going to be the player that will be those this year. 

In addition I will tell you who are going to be the sleepers of the draft and the steals of the draft.  With the sleepers I expect a player with very little hype or one who isn't well known to be a solid two-three option for a team. With steals I expect the player to become the star of their team in the near future— for instance Tony Parker or Michael Redd.
