Who Is Alex Wilkins? The 2027 NBA Draft Sleeper You Need to Know
About this episode
James has been telling me for months that Alex Wilkins is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2027 NBA Draft — now it’s time to put that take on the record.
The 6'6" sophomore guard went from an under-the-radar recruit to averaging 17.8 points and 4.7 assists as a freshman at Furman before transferring to Kentucky.
He also introduced himself to a national audience in the NCAA Tournament, scoring 21 points with four assists and four made threes against UConn. Now James believes Wilkins could emerge as one of the biggest sleepers in the 2027 NBA Draft.
On NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James break down Wilkins' game, what made him so productive at Furman, how his game translates to the NBA and whether he can make the jump from mid-major star to legitimate NBA prospect at Kentucky.
