It’s hard to predict what kind of player someone will become, especially when they’re still in the middle of their development stage.
Every year, players get overlooked and are underappreciated heading up to the draft. Scouts just don’t see anything great in these young players, so they decide to spend their time scouting other guys. Here’s a list of 8 players who were under-recruited and went on to become superstars in the NBA, courtesy of pressbasketball.com’s Eric Fawcett.
Jimmy Butler
Scottie Pippen
Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry & Isaiah Thomas
Paul George
Dwyane Wade
You never know who is going to become something great. Sometimes all they need is someone to take a chance on them.
