Bfresh2DeathParticipantLately I have seen a few players that would put players that were drafted in the NBA this past year to shame that are in the NAIA. I cant believe that thier is no love shown to thier obviously superior talent and skill level. What does it take for a player who HASNT take Division 1 route to make it the NBA and how many players are in the NBA right now that havent went to D1 school or europe that is playing since the NBA age rule……would love to know the info

NarcParticipantOne could try the D-League if you don’t get drafted. But if you turn heads at the combine you’ll get noticed.

JoeWolf1Moochie Norris played D2 ball and made it into the league, he averaged about 24 ppg but was drafted in the second round, i remember he was instant offense and had a solid NBA career

chenager40Participanti dont know how you’d get noticed but I know Chris Anderson played JC at blinn college and made it to the NBA through there. I think you have to be super athletic and be a good player and make your way through the d-league.

bobbygillerBen Wallace attended Virginia Union University a DII team and as Auber said, just become amazing at one aspect of the game. Over the course of a few season Big Ben busted it on defense and on the boards, he was great because he simply outworked everyone he went up against.

NickWayne87Participantthere’s the d league route as someone said, but it’s a numbers game…there’s only 400 and something roster spots in the whole nba…there’s millions of basketball players around the world who are probably good enough to be in the NBA, there’s just not enough room for everybody…

Killer_kat12345ParticipantHe attended Meridian Community College, which is a 2 year public community college, in Mississippi. Where hee averaged 20.8 ppg and 8.7 rpg. He entered the NBA draft in 2001, but was not drafted. He has had one of the hardest roads to the NBA for any player…

Adi JosephIt’s worth noting that most guys who played juco ball simply weren’t smart enough for D1 – not that they weren’t recruited.

JoeWolf1Two greats of the 1990’s Dennis Rodman who was 5’11” when he graduated high school and hit a major growth spurt he actually did goto a NAIA school Southeastern Oklahoma State, he got NBA attention through pre-draft camps and was 2nd rounder and ended up being one of the greatest rebounders in NBA history. Pippen also played NAIA ball as a 6’1” walk on to Central Arkansas and sprouted to 6’7” in his time there and like Rodman got attention from pre draft tournaments, 6 NBA Championships, 2 Olympic Golds and many achievements later these two players prove with hard work and a RIDICULOUS growth spurt the NAIA jump is possible, 11 Championships, 9 All-Star games, 17 All-Defensive teams, Rodman won 7 rebounding titles etc…those two guys are two of the best of their respective decades

HaleParticipantMany players who don’t play college ball or just play pickup games or stuff on the street have the talent to play in the NBA. The problem is they are usually guys who score a ton (unlikely to happen in the NBA from the street) and don’t have the knowledge to play at an NBA level. Say a pg, I don’t someone off the streets is going to be able to run an NBA team, that is too big of a change.
