	An actual sleeper will be D.J Augustin or Brook Lopez

	As a sophomore, D.J. Augustin's shooting percentage, free throw percentage, and 3 pt. percentage all went down from the previous year. He had some horrendous games shooting 3 of 19 in the series against Baylor, 5 of 22 against Iowa State, 8 of 31 against Kansas and 20 of 58 in the tournament. The only tournament game he played well in was.....well......the game against Brook Lopez and the Cardinal where he shot 10 of 18. Kinda makes you wonder. Personally, I think Augustin is too small at 6 foot nothing to play against the taller guards in the NBA, but we shall see.

	Augustin was abused by Rose and CDR of Memphis in the tournament because of their size/athleticism. He will be the lottery bust this year, unsmart pick for Charlotte.

	I believe the true sleeper in this years draft class will be the #27 overall draft pick Darrell Arthur. There's absolutely no reason at all why he should of slipped out of the lottery, speculation over a possible kidney ailment turned out to be completely unfounded, and untrue. His stats might not have been that impressive in college ala Al Horford due the fact that he was sharing the ball with likes of Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, and Sasha Kaun all of whom were drafted this year. Not only do I love Arthur's post game, but I love the situation he's going into with Memphis, a team in desperate need of a post presence after trading away Pau Gasol earlier this year. With no other solid options at PF, I would expect Arthur to receive a solid amount of minutes and to be one of the more productive rookies in this upcoming season.
