We're officially in dart-throw territory!
A lot of these guys could be useless or drop-worthy in a matter of weeks, but there's still plenty of sleeper potential to be had in these last few rounds.
Dewayne Dedmon (103rd in our rankings), Patrick Beverley (96th), JaVale McGee (79th), Kelly Olynyk (97th) and Mario Hezonja (106th) all provide sleeper potential here, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (146th), De'Aaron Fox (185th), Domantas Sabonis (196th), Maurice Harkless (147th), and Reggie Jackson (145th) project as busts, Act accordingly.
My pick: I grabbed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope here, despite our projections having him as a bust this year. Josh Hart could very well supplant him as the Lakers' starting shooting guard any day now, but I took a shot on KCP after he finished as the 64th-ranked player in nine-category leagues last year. I often lean towards semi-proven commodities like KCP over guys that we're just waiting to see break out (like De'Aaron Fox).
