Stanford power forward Josh Owens is hoping to be ascend draft boards as a sleeper similar to former teammate Landry Fields.

"I would love to be that guy this year," Owens said after working out for the Warriors at the team's downtown Oakland practice facility Monday.

Owens averaged 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds during his junior and senior seasons with Stanford, but wasn't invited to the Portsmouth Invitational.

Owens had camp-best 40.8-inch vertical during a combine hosted by the Nets on May 19th and 20th.

"He's an incredible athlete," said one NBA executive who has seen Owens work out.

Owens has since also worked out for the Heat, Kings and several teams at a workout in Santa Barbara.

"It's a totally different game," Owens said of the NBA. "Here, you've got a much more spread-out floor, you've got more one-on-one type defense. It changes the dynamics of the game a lot. I think I'm a great athlete, so I can show some of those skills a lot better out here."
