Drafting well is essential to sustained success in the NBA. And though top-tier talent rarely drops past the first handful of picks, finding value later in the draft can define a team's legacy. So unless you're Cleveland and you just happen to be the city closest to where a generational talent grew up and you lucked into three No. 1 picks and five top-four picks in a four-year span, you'd better draft well if you want to compete.
So I checked out three different mock drafts: Scott Howard Cooper's NBA.com Mock Draft 1.0, NBAdraft.net's mock draft and our own Chris Roling's mock draft from June 14. From those three drafts, I picked five "sleepers" who I think have a good shot at outperforming the given expectations based off their AMDP (average mock draft position.)
