  • What Happened To The Players Drafted Before & After Steph Curry?
    In life, a few things are inevitable:
    Death, taxes, and NBA teams passing up on generational talents.
    What happened to all the players that heard their names called before and after the GREATEST shooter ever in the 2009 NBA Draft? And where are they now?

    Don't disrespect Blake like that. He wasn't a bust, he was great. Led the clippers to relevance, 20 10 his rookie year. Especially when people were talking about how weak the 2009 draft was gonna be.

      And now, after parted ways with CP3, Blake has developed himself into a even better all-around player.
      That's why the GSW is setting their eyes on him right now. Just wish that he can has a ring or two when he retires, from Golden State of course.

    My opinion on the 09 draft
    Griffin-great but too much injuries
    Thabeet-massive bust
    Harden-great
    Evans-promising but developed poorly
    Rubio-injured early but still solid
    Flynn-promising but got injured
    Curry-obviously a HOFer
    Hill-became a journeyman early
    DeRozan-great
    Jennings-promising but got injured

    Sacramento also have this genius idea of Tyreke playing the forward position
    On Ricky Rubio I would also add that he tore that same ACL in his rookie year thus derailing his career would've been an all star no doubt if that didn't happen still managed a pretty solid career though

    Good Video, but just to have an add on, the reason why Tyeke Evans became a bust is because of the kings decided to use him as a small forward instead of point guard, which killed his development.

    Blake Griffin is one of those players that, if there was a Hall of "Very Good Players", he would be first ballot: an well above average player/all star caliber player but not quite elite/generational talents. In the same line as LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Horford, Joe Johnson and so on. Probably he's gonna get in anyway - because it's not that hard to get in, actually - but he's not part of the "creme de la creme" of all time NBA players.

    Error in your vid. Jordan Hill was the one drafted after Curry, not Derozan. The Knicks were dead set on drafting Curry and Curry's teams were actively scaring off teams so he would be drafted by the Knicks. This is why the Wolves drafted Flynn over Curry. Golden State chose to ignore the warnings of Steph's team and drafted him anyway. Steph balled out and was second to Reke in the ROTY race.

    I actually don’t blame the guys for picking who they picked before curry because if we actually go back curry only had has father to his name, his skills never shown in college and it would’ve been unwise to draft someone like that especially because he didn’t even become good till 2015 (2014 maybe but that’s at best) where before that he was more known for consistently getting injured rather than his 3s and although they did win in 2015 that was probably the luckiest finals run ever seen if you need me to explain why you just simply don’t know ball however every ring Steph got after are all deserved
