Talk about NBA draft sleepers always stands as one of the most heated topics ahead of the major event.
The 2016 NBA draft might be the best recent example. Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram headline the show, with other major names such as Dragan Bender, Jamal Murray, Jaylen Brown and Buddy Hield not far behind.
