I’ve been keeping an eye on the NBA MVP race, All-Star selections, etc. and I’ve been surprised to learn of how many current NBA stars were greatly overlooked as legit NBA prospects. Here’s a short list to name a few;
1 Kyle Lowry
2 Jimmy Butler
3 Jeff Teague
4 Marc Gasol
5 Paul Millsap
6 Wes Matthews
7 Nikola Vucevic
Can anyone else think of upper-tier NBA players who were fringe draft prospects???

I mean, traded for Tractor Traylor for God`s sake… Or how about Earl Boykins? I know he is out of the L now, but who would`ve seen a 14 career ahead of him (I sure thought he would last, just not that long!)…And the great Robert Swift…oh, never mind.

  Tyreke Evans was the 4th pick in the 2009 draft. I definitely wouldn’t say he was overlooked as a prospect.

The Atlanta hawks!!
Korver,Scott,Millsap,Bazemore,Antic,Caroll,Muscala,Mack are second rounders or undrafted. Pretty crazy.
As for the other teams,I’d say what about Kris Middleton,36th pick in 2012,just put up 25 points in Toronto,having a solid season in the 6th best team in the east. I think we still don’t walue enough guys that are able to adapt to any coach/system and play within their roles.

If you want to be technical, Cousins should have been the 2nd pick in the draft, so a little overlooked.

If you take away the ridiculous expectations dude has done very well for himself for a player who was not supposed to be in the league. He was overlooked at every level of basketball from AAU to the NBA.
