SQUEEZE the ORANGE 2012 DRAFT Sleepers....you better have your ALARM CLOCK with you when you make the PICK.....2012 DRAFT SLEEPERS....Wake Up

The 2012 NBA Draft is within 3 hours and very few players were invited to the Green Room and the ones that were not are classified in a few categories. Non-Lottery, 2nd Round Picks, Free Agent camp Players, or Sleepers.

Sleepers is the word thrown around to Players that are moving up in the Draft or Players that are on the radar but off the radar for those not in the know. The Bluedude is in the know and trying enlighten all my Bluedude Heads to the 2012 Draft Sleepers.

Note: Players from any position

Darius Johnson-Odom Marquette Combo Guard: Lefty at about 6'4" and built like a Sunday Corner or even Safety. Athletic and can play and defend multiple positions. Can shoot it with range and can Finish in Transition. A former JUCO Standout and under Marquette Coach Buzz Williams System they play everywhere. He works out with Raleigh-Durham native John Wall and all the Duke and UNC Players in the Summer as D. J-O 1 hails from the area.

Will Buford Ohio State Sniper: Good Length, Athleticism, and Basketball IQ. If Buford enetrs the 2011 NBA Draft he would have been a Lottery. Came back to School to get Degree, play with Sullinger again, and try to get a Chip for High Street and Lead Man Matta. Arguably the best player out of Toledo, Ohio since Toledo Macomber-Whitney HS Star Jim "JJ" Jackson. Will get minutes right away with a possible Playoff Team. I liken him to a better DaQuan Cook of the Thunder a former Buckeye.

Jae Crowder Marquette Wing F: Another Former JUCO Stud that again has no real position but reminds me of Spurs Kawhi Leonard except not as refined Offensively like Kawhi. Same kind of Physique and can Guard 2 and 3 in the Logo. Oh! did the Bluedude mention he was 2011-12 Big East Player of the Year. If you can play the Bluedude will find you. He is a minature Kenneth Faried if you know what I am saying....the MANimal 5,280 feet above Sea Level at the Big Soda Pop Bottle...Pepsi Center.

Jared Cunningham Oregon State Combo G: Those of you on the Right Coast were LEFT out knowing about East Bay's Lefty in Corvalis. He is smooth and Athletic and reminds the Bluedude of a better former C's 1st Rounder Gerald Green of Houston TX Gulf Shores Academy and 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Champ. Like Buford he could possibly sneak in the back end of the 1st Round. I like him a lot and the 2nd best Player in the Pac 12 in the backcourt to Washington's Terrence Ross.

Tony Wroten Jr. Washington Combo G: At nearly 6-6 and 200 el bees he is th one player on everybody's board late in the 1st Round that the Convo will come up in the draft Room...Do we take him  he is that good. Half Jamal Crawford Summer League/ Half Seattle's Finest from Fame Garfield HS his skill set as a Lead Guard is right there but it's his Thinking Cap. If i were selecting late 1st Round like the OK City Thunder....you must look long and hard because you have Leadership in place to steer this Talented Player to the Ceiling. UConn Coach Jim Calhoun almost had Wroten Jr. but a Knee Injury from Football sidelined Wroten and he decided to stay Home. Calhoun has gotten Donny Marshall from Federal Way, Wash and the Great Doug Wrenn of O'Dea HS in Seattle you know nothing about to UConn out of the Great Northwest.

Tyshawn Taylor Kansas PG: Know one is talking about the PG who led T-Rob and the Gang to the National Championship Game and his talent level is real close to former KU Combo Regular Mario of Team White Hot. A better finisher in transition than Mario but not shooter. Just as good defensively and I am shocked he has not been mentioned in the back half of the Lottery. The Bluedude doesn't care where you went to School if you can handle that Orange I will put you out there. A Former St. Anthony's NJ Product under HOF Coach Bob Hurley Sr. Taylor could be late 1st or Top of the 2nd round.
