high risk high reward sleeps

[CFAN38]

These are players who both failed to play any college ball because of NCAA/academic issues.

Ricky Ledo

6'6 guard who committed to Providence but was never cleared to play. As a prep he was know as an elite scorer. Was ranked #2 SG (#6 over all) in class of 2012 by rivals.com.

a quote from nbadraft.net after watching Ledo play in 2011 nike global challenge

"Ricardo Ledo

Supremely confident with a penchant for making spectacular plays, Ricardo Ledo seems to leave a strong impression whenever he plays in front of a crowd. He's an explosive athlete and a strong finisher around the basket; one that's not afraid of contact whatsoever. Ledo relishes any chance he has to challenge the defense at the rim, and with his strength and athleticism, he's usually the victor. He does have a reputation for sacrificing the easy play for the fancy one, and he showed that on day 1 when he successfully pulled off a self ally-oop off the backboard. When he's not aggressively driving to the rim or throwing down dazzling dunks, Ledo is usually shooting from the perimeter, mostly with positive results. He's a big talent with lottery potential"

I would like to see the celtics trade for a pick in the second and take a shot on one of these guys. Particularly Ledo. He seems to have the perfect make up for an NBA SG and would be a great option to draft and leave in the D-League for a season.

As long as it is a second round pick... Agree, would not waste a first tjere/

[Celtics18]

Isaiah Austin, Mike Muscala, Lucas Noguiera, Rudy Gobert, Giannis Ade . . . (I'll just call him Giannis).  These guys aren't exactly sleepers, but they all seem like somewhat risky, but with the potential to be very high reward, players.

i agree. You can add to the list Jackie Carmichael, bj young, erick green.

I feel if danny does not get his top three guy by the 16th pick, to just trade it for OKC's late 1st and 1st 2nd pick. Maybe even cavs next 4th and 5th 2nd round picks (plus get something else back).

I  have a gut feeling danny is eyeing Giannis , Mcollum, Austin, Dieng (or anyone else from top 10 dropping).  But if they are all gone or some kind of flag goes up about one of them before drafting, instead of pulling a melo from last year, shorten the risk level and get like a Muscala and Erick Green for example with multiple picks.
