The NBA Draft of 2014 is all about the big names at the top. But there are actually some sleepers out there. The San Antonio Spurs built their team mostly on second rounders and now they are three wins away from a fifth NBA title.

Speaking of San Antonio, some fans observed that one of the projected steals of the draft, T.J. Warren of North Carolina State, would flourish in their system. He moves well without the ball and when he gets it, he can shoot it. He's the top scorer of the ACC and also its player of the year (beating Jabari Parker!) and his career high of 42 is tied with Andrew Wiggins. But one game before Warren scored 42-he scored 41!

Grantland has the skinny on him: "T.J. Warren's 2014 ACC Player of the Year campaign was enough to knock Khalif Wyatt out of the top spot on my list of favorite college players with "old-man game." I'm not sure anybody will ever take the title from Warren. I watched most of his games this past season and I still can't think of another way to describe Warren's game. It almost feels as if the more you watch him play, the less you understand him. Watch the highlights from his 41-point game at Pitt and see what I mean.

This is something you can begin to understand from watching his highlights, but you can't fully appreciate it unless you watch entire games. Warren is great at reading defenses as he cuts off screens, and he always seems to be in the right position on both ends of the floor. This goes a long way in helping him overcome his athletic deficiencies. A lot of guys playing off the ball will think about where they should be and then react and get to that spot. Warren eliminates a half-second (and therefore nullifies the athletic advantage an opponent might have) by not needing to think - he naturally gravitates to the right spot."

In other words, this is a message to the other 29 teams-draft him before Popovich lays his hands on him.  If you don't, get used to being clobbered at the AT&T Center.

Elfrid Payton was a relative unknown until he was chosen among prominent high school and college freshmen to Team USA's U-19 team. Grantland evaluates: "Well, scouts are high on him because he possesses all the physical tools you'd ever want from an NBA point guard. He's 6-foot-3, he's explosive, he can finish above the rim, he rebounds well, and he's probably the best point guard defender in the draft not named Marcus Smart."

The knack against him is he has not been tested against quality opposition in college: "He led his conference in assists (5.9 per game) and steals (2.3), he was second in scoring (19.2), and he was named the conference's defensive player of the year while playing for the only Sun Belt team to make the NCAA tournament.

As you may have guessed, Payton had his ups and downs in those four games. He averaged 20.8 points, 5.5 assists, and 2.5 steals, but he also averaged 4.5 turnovers."

Payton needs some work that's why being picked late in the first round would do him good. But he has more upside than the average 15-20^th overall picks.

This draft is stacked, and fans have reasons to be excited.
