With the 2015-16 College Basketball season in full swing, I take a look at five players that will likely get their name called on NBA Draft night that you probably don’t know yet
As we head into the second quarter of the NBA regular season, most fans have a general sense of the direction their team is going in. Sadly, for some teams that direction is pointing towards the 2016 NBA lottery.
Last year, fans of many lottery teams tanked for Karl-Anthony Towns. This season, the talk of the town is LSU forward Ben Simmons. With the Lakers and 76ers in an intensive tank battle, there’s a good chance Simmons could find himself on either of those teams.
When you have a potential franchise-changer in a draft class, mostly all the attention is on that guy. But what about the other players? The guys that don’t get too many National TV Games or attention from casual College Basketball fans.
Is there another Draymond Green or Kawhi Leonard is this draft? Each NBA Draft has that overlooked player, and that one lucky team that takes a chance on them.
Here’s a list of five guys you might need to know by the time the 2016 NBA draft comes up.
