    Who do yall think is the most underrated prospect this year? My first choice would be TJ Warren from NC State. He is projected to go 14th in the 2015 draft, but I believe he could sneak into the late lottery this year. He has good size for a small forward at 6’8. Though he has just average athleticism, he simply just gets buckets. He is currently averaging 24 on the season, along with 7 rebounds. Though he is shooting a poor percentage from beyond the arc, I think he has a lot of room to grow as a shooter. I think he could be a very good small forward in the NBA. What do yall think?

     Well, according to this site’s draft projections, I would probably say Aaron Gordon or Montrezl Harrell. I really wish his name was pronounced Montrez-el. TJ Warren might be my pick as well but I’ll throw out Mario Hezonja. I’m not sure people realize how talented this kid is. He has the skill set to be a top 5-10 player in this draft. The questions about are about his "attitude" but that to me is kind of dumb. People said the same about Drummond. I think a lot of times guys with that potential and skill get bored at the level they’re at and Mario is an NBA player and underrated at this point.

    Roscoe Smith.  He forced two five second violations against Mississippi State last night when they tried to inbound the basketball.

     Currently projected at 51. Think he should be closer to the top of the 2nd round and could be a "value version" of Rodney Hood.

     I like Spencer Dinwiddie. Not an overly athletic guy, not flashy by any means, but he is slick, just knows how to play the game well. Solid handle, improving jumper, great at generating contact. I like his pro prospects since he is really a maestro off the pick and roll. Currently projected at 27th in the 2015 mock, but I could see him sneaking into the late first first round this year, or even mid first/lottery if Colarado make a deep run in the tourney.

    I think Cobbs is more valuable than 59th. Not saying he is going to be a high level starter at the NBA level, but I think he will be a quality bench guy.

    He has been the lead guard and key contributor on several over-achieving Golden Bears teams, has average-slighlty above average size and athleticism. Needs some work on his outside shot but that isn’t exactly a rare issue for players coming into the league. By no means a star, but a heady competitor who would be nice to have come off the bench.

     I was recently looking into TJ as an NBA pro and I think he is underrated. But he needs to add a lot to his game to be a good pro. His shooting is key but what I think is just as important is his IQ on the court and desicion making . Right now he’s very one dimensional

    Mitch McGary could be end up being 1 of the 10 best players from the draft..He has a great feel for the game,hard worker,intangibles,outstanding rebounder,size ,court vision and a nice touch..A back injury has kept him from being 100%…Hopefully he’ll be completely healthy by the Tourney,becuz he’s my favorite college player and love watching him play…

    1.Rasmus Larsen- A skilled 19 year old sweet shooting 7 footer from Denmark…Who has been compared to a young Dirk Nowitzski..

    http://youtu.be/5W0ybBGwPpg p>2.Jabari Bird-

    3.Bryce Cotton-

    4.Khem Birch-After leaving Pitt,it seems the former McDonalds All American has become a 4gotten man….But quietly he’s having a good season for UNLV 51%/12pts/9rbs/4blks….

    I’ve got a feeling Payne could be one of those players that if he slip a little goes to a good team (OKC, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, Clippers, maybe Miami) might find a good niche as an athletic stretch 4 and leave many people wondering why he went so low. I see a lot of roleplay potential which doesn’t necessarily translate in bad teams, but if he goes to a team that has already many players able to create shots or an offensive system that generates good shooting opportunities often he has lot of qualities to appreciate: he’s athletic, tough (though he should add a little weight), has a improved his jumper each season in college, he has great potential as a pick and roll defender, he can run, has good length. If he’s not asked to do too much he has a really interesting upside as a two way player.

       Payne has been dominant this year and will be a favorite in player of the year talks. I never hear anyone talking about him as a draft prospect, so to me has gotta be the #1 sleeper. I mean, if you’re playing as well as he is and Doug McDermott is rated higher on the website, he’s a sleeper.

     I think Brandon Ashley at Arizona is a bit underrated, he isn’t even in the 2014 mock and is listed as a late first rounder in the weaker 2015 draft.
