Demar Derozan. We take it for granted how good he's become and where he's been. He worked on his game for years and he gradually got better. I guess he didn't come out of nowhere but he surpassed his expectations
i follow the raptors religously... demar has gotten better every year of his career statistically.. it wasnt out of nowhere. nobody saw it outside of canada as the raptors rarely got any shine on prime time games.
yeah thats the point of the video, more like they showed they were good out of nowhere, every player in the league is a good player, but for guys like lowry it takes time to adapt to the game
DeMar DeRozaN on his twitter account as a rookie said he got us, after Chris Bosh decided to join Miami Heat, leaving Toronto with almost nothing, he went from averaging 6-7 points a game to averaging 25+ plus in regular season, being top #1 in 2017 first and second week dropping over 40 points a game down to number #5-#6 spot currently, he has the athletic work ethnic that most players in the league lack, his most points come from shooting free throws and shooting 2 pointers, if he ever improves his 3 point shooting, he will strongly win the mvp awad, and become a very popular face in the nba world, I have always liked him even when he was a rookie now he is my favorite baller since Tracy Mcgrady and Black Mamba retired, his playing skills also reminds everyone of Kobe Bryant
Die hard knicks Fan since the 90s all i remember about kyle lowry before he came to toronto was he was that backup guard that i loved playing against in 2k because i could always pick his pocket
I remember Linsanity when he first started those string of great games played on national t.v. in the Garden against Kobe, Miami , Bulls and he brought the knicks back into the conversation as a legitimate playoff contender if they kept on with Jeremy. Unfortunately Melo didn't like all the attention he was getting and when he came back from his injury the majority of the offense ran thru Melo stagnating the once unpredictable knicks into the same old iso-ball that has never worked unless your name is Kobe or Jordan, so you knew his days in N.Y were numbered and I really thought that Melo had probably the best team he was ever on and could compete, but infighting within the organization with Melo and Jackson played out years later showed the reality of both of their demise. Sad for Jeremy because he was the first Asian that I can remember that blew everybody away with his ball savvy and his skill set, unfortunately for him they put him on the wrong team with selfish players that only cared about their stats rather than winning!!!.
Giannis did just become a star out nowhere needed time to develop (like a lot of these on this list). If you've been following him for the last few seasons, you wouldn't be surprised that he's turned into this.
giannis has always been a "potential al star" , adams is good, but because he has a guy like westbrook who give him the ball everytime on pick and roll......draymond well. you are right
His point is that no one expected the pistons to be a great team, not to mention "the team" to beat in the east the following years to come. Most people thought that it was just a fluke.
Yes, Billups was on his 4th or 5th team. Rip was a trade piece so they wouldn't have to pay Stackhouse. Prince was just a good defender. Rasheed was good, but played in an era where there were a lot of better power forwards and on the court issues outshined his game. Ben Wallace was an undrafted utility man that was only good for few rebounds and put back buckets.
Curry was a superstar in college and single-handedly brought Davidson to the elite 8. He was underrated because of his size his first year or two in the NBA but he had FAR more hype than Isaiah Thomas or Kyle Lowry their first couple years in the league.
Shotty 2 Hotty anyone who knew about the nba knew curry and knew he was under rated, he as a good developing player. I knew about curry's skills when he first got drafted and i would use him in 2k.
Stephen Curry Nobody really believes he would become a good player just because of how short he was. People also thought Curry cant play because has “noodle ankles”. But look now, he is a 3 time champ and 2 time MVP
Yes. Draft night he was a bust. A project to maybe produce in 2-4 years. There were some who believed he had the potential to be the best pick that night, so thats why its likely a no, but most people wouldve aimed him at bust.
Vesryn Xpress Draymond was drafted in the 2nd round in the draft. He did ok in his season, but wasn't in the level he was today. People said that he was good at defense but he will not be good in the league for not being good at offense. Critics didn't believe him but he shown that he was amazing after become a triple double machine and is now a key part of the Warriors.
A year down the stretch, those peanuts became one of the most promising scoring guards since James Harden, a star in making PF who could be successor to Dirk, and a very solid all around PG. Seems like Bulls won that trade.
You forgot Paul Pierce, Draymond Green, Rashard Lewis, Rajon Rondo, Michael Redd, Gilbert Arenas, Alex English, Karl Malone and John Stockton. That's just on top of my head...
KBTITAN-24 he's said it himself before, a couple years back when i was like 12 or so I had one of those videos where nba players taught you the fundamentals and he became one of my favorite players just because everyone doubted him
Jay Harris not really steph was always good, he averaged 17.5 points his rookie season, and averaged around 17 points a game his first 3 NBA seasons, then in 2012 he averaged 22.9 with 7 assists per game, then went on averaging 24, 23.8, 30.1, 24.9 he has always been a really good player lol. So please before talking know ur facts, you probably only knew superstars, he has always been a good player, and he averaged like 30 points in college.
Jay Seps I was picked 9th on my 2nd guy and I was lik naw I'm not putting average numbers on hall of fame I'm putting monster numbers on rookie (67.4 Pts 16.7 assists 18.9 rebounds)
Curry was a star player in college and was considered the best shooter in his draft class. I think people predicted he would be pretty good, I dont think we thought he would be THIS good tho.
J simmons averages 6 ppg in 18 minutes play time..... he doesnt belong here at all.... he do get some highlight plays though which probably have confused you
Jason Frey No idiot in 2003 he was still attending Akron college, then he got drafted in 2011 to the Miami Heat, then he went back in 2015. That's why it's called the "Return"
it's not necessarily that they became good, it's just that they were always nervous until they realized how easy it was to gain confidence. if someone knows what I mean, please reply and help me fend off the people who try to disagree and bring stats into the conversation when it has no real reason to be here.
Tray Dizzay Yeah most of these players were slept on by coaches. They suddenly had an opportunity to show what they could do and rose up with confidence. Talent and potential was always there, even if the stats don't show it.
JV Lee also exactly. But I mean not EVERY player is potentially good. some were born to just make others look good. it would be boring to see a league full of nothing but stars.
Tray Dizzay Yeah not everyone has the capability of being a star. I meant they as in the listen players already had potential but they weren't being used properly.
Michelle Ferraro I definitely agree with you in okc harden was pretty average hidden by russ and durant but when he was traded to the rockets he suddenly became an mvp contender! But still his level of improvement isnt as good as the ones in this list
Micah Wiltshire Steph Curry and Klay Thompson had unbelievable college careers. They always were good players, but just needed to develop. Draymond came outta of now where though
No both clay and curry lit it up when they were together in pretty sure klaus won the three point contest his second year people knew that curry and klay were legit
@SSSUPERDEDUPER GAMING Shit like this is why this world is so annoying smfh. Don't berate the guy cause of a lil spelling error. C and K sound exactly the same, to be fair.
Traellis Miller Cousins was good, Deandre I'd say is ok(doesn't have a game outside of his athleticism), Embid as a rookie wasn't expected to be bad so he didn't go "good outta nowhere", Harden was help back and now has more opportunities and touches, and Young has a better coach that suits him.
true but deandre jordan before 2012 he was not good at all and even 2 years later he wasn't all that. and for cousins Imo I just didn't see him being the best center and being able to shoot threes and dribble as good as a forward. embid ik is a rookie but ppl called him a bust and is showing he's a player that can carry a team that's developed enough (unlike the 76ers are) and nick young yeah better coaching but you gotta admit hes playing better than he has on previous teams. and harden I didn't think he would be able to take a team over and do what he has bc he was really being overshadowed by westbrook and KD
Traellis Miller Yeah I was kinda surprised by DJ too. But I'm not sold, people say he's a superstar or best center I'd say he's top 10 or 5 center and maybe a star. Doesn't do much without his hops. But yeah I agree.
Dude I said the same thing I ranked him top 5 just bc his athleticism and his ability to finish at the rim better than most but that's about it, his free throws still need word and if he could be a playmaking center in the post he could easily be top 3. but I see exactly wym by placing him anywhere in the top 10
Do you guys not know what this list is about ? He was good from the start. Just because he had low expectations doesn't mean he should be here because the list says BECAME GOOD OUT OF NOWHERE. Hassan Whiteside is here because he was trash and now he's a superstar dumbass
Charles Delair curry was drafted 7th overall he was good in davidson and good early with the warriors but nobody noticed him until him and klay made the super splash bros team
donovan light Well, they knew he would be GOOD. nobody expected greatness. If you look back, wade was very under appreciated because he was in the same draft class as LeBron and Melo. That was his inspiration that led him to explode into a superstar out of nowhere.
Everyone on basketball comment sections trying to squeeze in a joke about the warriors Jeremy Lin was #17 Kyle Lowry is #7 17-7=10 10 divided by 2 is 5 5-1 is 4 4-1 is 3 the warriors blew a 3-1 lead
JV Lee No they weren't you're dumb lol L Everyone thought Giannas was a bad pick because he came from Greece, Ben Wallace was undrafted, Kristaps was booed at draft night Bledsoe went from averaging 3 points to 20 in a 3 year span, Derozan averaged 8.6 PPG in his rookie year and for the next few following seasons looked like a good player not a superstar like he is today
Sam Olson giannis is still new to the league, and only had one or 2 average seasons. Plus the Bucks took a chance and hoped that he would become the player he is today. They didn't exactly expect him to become the player he is today, but they definitely saw it coming
Good list but can't believe you forgot John Starks. He was BAGGING GROCERIES IN OKLAHOMA when he got a call to try out for the Knicks. He barely made the team. Remember when the Knicks gave the Bulls all they wanted in the playoffs? Remember "The Dunk" when Starks dunked over Michael Jordan and led the Knicks to a win in that game? After the game reporters asked Michael Jordan if he even knew who John Starks is? His response "I do now"
Rip Harambe lol draymond was a fat kid who was absolutely terrible at everything but defense and he wasn't even very good at that but I don't think he should be on here cause he didn't get good outta nowhere he got better every season
NBA players need Whiteside's motivation, "I'm just trying to get my 2k rating up."

Jeremy Lin was a one year wonder

Dirk Singh ya huh because 17 ppg and 2.1 steals and 3.7 rebounds rn isnt that good huh???
ricegums slave It's really not. An average player can get 17 ppg. Especially on the fuckin Nets
garbage stats for a true superstar
and he was only hot for a month max
well scoring 10+ points off the bench after scoring only 2ppg in his first season is pretty good.
Demar Derozan. We take it for granted how good he's become and where he's been. He worked on his game for years and he gradually got better. I guess he didn't come out of nowhere but he surpassed his expectations
I totally agree. one of the best shooting guards in nba if not one of the best players.

What. This you. I remember watching this video sooo many years ago, and just recently got back into your channel, very good content
LeBron came out of nowhere when he was drafted by the Heat in 2011
yeah that's a neck
Divide 😂😂😂😂😂
Divide drafted by the Cavs in 2003 smart one
Jason Frey No idiot in 2003 he was still attending Akron college, then he got drafted in 2011 to the Miami Heat, then he went back in 2015. That's why it's called the "Return"
Divide he left the Cavs for the heat in 2011 that's why it's called the return.
No one expected Devin Booker to be as good as he is today
Lmao hes a second year player who isnt even a bonified star or on a good team. He was drfted high too
Kentucky was stacked, Towns helped D Book find his way. But unfortunately he still has to work on his D.
nah ur an idiot if u didnt think booker would be this good or just a casual
That's me
Devin Booker get cho THATS SO RAVEN HEAD ASS
it's not necessarily that they became good, it's just that they were always nervous until they realized how easy it was to gain confidence.
if someone knows what I mean, please reply and help me fend off the people who try to disagree and bring stats into the conversation when it has no real reason to be here.
***** exactly. Talent is there, it's the people that bring it out
Tray Dizzay Yeah most of these players were slept on by coaches. They suddenly had an opportunity to show what they could do and rose up with confidence. Talent and potential was always there, even if the stats don't show it.
JV Lee also exactly. But I mean not EVERY player is potentially good. some were born to just make others look good. it would be boring to see a league full of nothing but stars.
Tray Dizzay Yeah not everyone has the capability of being a star. I meant they as in the listen players already had potential but they weren't being used properly.
Tray Dizzay yes that's me
When was this made
Stephen curry? Draymond green?
steph curry has always been great but he was injury prone
ya very true, steph curry succeded a lot as a rookie. He would have been rookie of the year in 2011 if it wasn't for Blake Griffin
I was thinking Isiah Thomas actually, he was 60th pick, round 2.
LUC Eldridge Steph Curry was drafted in 2009 though
curry was injured in his rookie season
harden should be in there
Harden was 6th man of the year. You can see it coming
People knew he was good but they didnt think he could lead a team
David Nguyen People were saying how the move for Houston was good for him because he could be a star.
Harden was the 3rd overall pick. Everyone thought he was gonna be good. LOL.
Michelle Ferraro I definitely agree with you in okc harden was pretty average hidden by russ and durant but when he was traded to the rockets he suddenly became an mvp contender! But still his level of improvement isnt as good as the ones in this list
Basically the entire warriors team other than kd
Micah Wiltshire right i remeber when nobody talked about steph and klay when that team was first put together after ellis bounced
Micah Wiltshire Steph Curry and Klay Thompson had unbelievable college careers. They always were good players, but just needed to develop. Draymond came outta of now where though
superiortoalll they were in there first couple seasons
their*
No both clay and curry lit it up when they were together in pretty sure klaus won the three point contest his second year people knew that curry and klay were legit
Mark Gasol
Mamba Out Marc gasol not mark
He is still good out of nowhere.
Marc for sure
Mamba Out marc*
@SSSUPERDEDUPER GAMING Shit like this is why this world is so annoying smfh. Don't berate the guy cause of a lil spelling error. C and K sound exactly the same, to be fair.
who I thought was good outta nowhere are cousins,deandre jordan, Joel embid, James harden, nick young (this year)
Traellis Miller Cousins was good, Deandre I'd say is ok(doesn't have a game outside of his athleticism), Embid as a rookie wasn't expected to be bad so he didn't go "good outta nowhere", Harden was help back and now has more opportunities and touches, and Young has a better coach that suits him.
true but deandre jordan before 2012 he was not good at all and even 2 years later he wasn't all that. and for cousins Imo I just didn't see him being the best center and being able to shoot threes and dribble as good as a forward. embid ik is a rookie but ppl called him a bust and is showing he's a player that can carry a team that's developed enough (unlike the 76ers are) and nick young yeah better coaching but you gotta admit hes playing better than he has on previous teams. and harden I didn't think he would be able to take a team over and do what he has bc he was really being overshadowed by westbrook and KD
Traellis Miller Yeah I was kinda surprised by DJ too. But I'm not sold, people say he's a superstar or best center I'd say he's top 10 or 5 center and maybe a star. Doesn't do much without his hops. But yeah I agree.
Dude I said the same thing I ranked him top 5 just bc his athleticism and his ability to finish at the rim better than most but that's about it, his free throws still need word and if he could be a playmaking center in the post he could easily be top 3. but I see exactly wym by placing him anywhere in the top 10
Giannis Anretokuounmpo
Devin booker (suns) Jonathan simmons (spurs) will be next
DELTABOY04 devin booker is already good, it won't be out of nowhere
isn't devin booker a rookie
Chris Jones *2nd year
DELTABOY04 Devin Booker was a top pick
DELTABOY04 No Kristaps Porzingis
kyle Lowry is shooting 3's 46% this year. Stephen curry this year is 40%
slicer141 try 35% now
Curry also has KD, Klay and Draymond so he's gonna shoot the ball less.
Ricky X if ur shooting less the ur percentages should be higher
slicer141 But Kyle shoots much fewer 3's than Steph soo...
Blazer OhNo he shoots like .3 fewer threes.
Also when you have a team with 3 other all stars and you're the PG, bad shot selection is on you.
You forgot 3x NBA champ James Jones
niel rhinerson bro he’s never played lol
Kristaps Porzingis
knicks fans boo literally every single fkin pick.
Trick Shot kings he's always been good
at least u got hated, most of them grabbed no attention
Do you guys not know what this list is about ? He was good from the start. Just because he had low expectations doesn't mean he should be here because the list says BECAME GOOD OUT OF NOWHERE. Hassan Whiteside is here because he was trash and now he's a superstar dumbass
U r right
Curry? Antetokoumpo? Hayward? D Wade? DeRozan? Just a few that should've been there.
D wade was picked 5th overall in one of the best drafts ever, everyone knew he was gonna be great
Charles Delair curry was drafted 7th overall he was good in davidson and good early with the warriors but nobody noticed him until him and klay made the super splash bros team
donovan light Well, they knew he would be GOOD. nobody expected greatness. If you look back, wade was very under appreciated because he was in the same draft class as LeBron and Melo. That was his inspiration that led him to explode into a superstar out of nowhere.
Zak Kreiser I'm talking about the 2014-15 season. We all knew he was good, but he just randomly ascended to MVP level, seemingly overnight.
Charles Delair boi curry no.And I know you didn't say d wade do u watch NBA games
Kawhi Leonard will win MVP in the future.
nope
The Coldest Boner you obviously need to watch him play.
Warriors blew a 3-1 Exactly, but people don't pay attention to players who are quiet.
JJ Melendez This season yes, but I'm saying kawhi will win it next season or some time in the future.
To much of a team player to win one. It is the honest truth of the nba
2019 anyone? Ps Rip J Lin
kwame brown still have chance.
Everyone on basketball comment sections trying to squeeze in a joke about the warriors
Jeremy Lin was #17 Kyle Lowry is #7 17-7=10
10 divided by 2 is 5
5-1 is 4
4-1 is 3
the warriors blew a 3-1 lead
Bundy455 tht made no fuckin sense stfu
LeBum James King Mike Did you read the top that wasn't me that is me impersonation other people
Bundy455 where'd u get the 2? And where did u get the two 1s
768supersonic he the 2 from the 2 player he mentioned
@cosgroveprod.
giannas antetokoumpo
demar derozan
Deandre jordan
draymond green
ben wallace
paul millsap
Kristaps Porzingis
eric bledsoe
shawn marion
NHL FAN29 Damar DeRozan was like 10 pick in the draft
NHL FAN29 Only Green and maybe Jordan. Rest were already good.
JV Lee No they weren't you're dumb lol L
Everyone thought Giannas was a bad pick because he came from Greece, Ben Wallace was undrafted, Kristaps was booed at draft night Bledsoe went from averaging 3 points to 20 in a 3 year span, Derozan averaged 8.6 PPG in his rookie year and for the next few following seasons looked like a good player not a superstar like he is today
NHL FAN29 Giannis all the way
J.R smith
Music in background?
What about Klay or Giannis?
Sam Olson giannis is still new to the league, and only had one or 2 average seasons. Plus the Bucks took a chance and hoped that he would become the player he is today. They didn't exactly expect him to become the player he is today, but they definitely saw it coming
Sam Olson and klay didn't have a huge leap, it was a gradual process
Sam Olson klay was a high draft pick tho
Zak Kreiser McCollum and Pg13 were both higher
Sam Olson giannis? hell no
Porzingis. Because in the European league he averaged around 5 pets and the New York fans didn't like him. Then became a beast
*5 pts
Basty Alcasid Slept on. Wasn't bad just lacked touches.
Why the fuck would people draft a 5 point average you are the dumbest guy ever he was a fucking lottery pick dumbass
Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Paul Pilsap, Dragic, Derozen, Greek Freak??
ZneR_25 Draymond green?? The only reason he foumous is because of Steph and klay.
Cristian Solares you don't watch basketball my friend when you watch it than you can make fallacious comments like that
Cristian Solares or maybe because he is one of the best inside defenders in the league
curry has always been good
Yeah but not like a superstar lvl where bandwagon fans instantly supportedhim
Good video‼️‼️
Gilbert Arenas!!!
You shoulda put Stephen Curry on there
MobileGamingNMore curry been good. he put up good numbers in college
sstevendakid curry wasn't good in his first couple years in the league
Raphael Rodriguez cuz he got his ankles broke by Eric Gordon
Curry was a high draft pick. Most of these guys were taken in the late first/second rounds.
Josh Rogers kawhi 15th pick, george 10th pick, mccollum 10th pick, nash 15th pick. What u talkin about bandwagon?
What's up with the creepy ass music?
Jay J Kyrie was draft number 1 overall
WaP AceSe17en ?
W
Good list but can't believe you forgot John Starks. He was BAGGING GROCERIES IN OKLAHOMA when he got a call to try out for the Knicks. He barely made the team.
Remember when the Knicks gave the Bulls all they wanted in the playoffs? Remember "The Dunk" when Starks dunked over Michael Jordan and led the Knicks to a win in that game? After the game reporters asked Michael Jordan if he even knew who John Starks is? His response "I do now"
Russell Westbrook in collage and highschool
U ppl forgot Demare Derozan,Avery Bradley,and John wall
Jacob NBA dab John was picked 1st overall and was probably the most hyped player of his draft class so he didn't become good out of nowhere
Jacob NBA dab john wall was the first pick in the draft
if anything he got worse.
Jacob NBA dab the homie John Wall was drafted in the first round out of Kentucky
Donovan Prophet first pick
" place to shine like bostan " 😂😂😂
Abdullahi Bouh boston*
University of Marquette?? Where is that at?
Steph??? He was given a spotlight but nobody expected him to become the monster he is today. And Gianni's Ante
jeremiah beck no curry was good but had too many injurys
jeremiah beck dude in like 2012 I think he won a games with only 4 players playing search it up
+Sauce God ik his ankle use to give him problem
+Sauce God ik his ankle use to give him problem
jeremiah beck he's boy good thoughXD
Draymond Green. He was picked in the 2nd round for god sake
Justin TBNR do you not understand this. It's best players that became good out of nowhere. Not best players that were picked late in the draft.
Rip Harambe lol draymond was a fat kid who was absolutely terrible at everything but defense and he wasn't even very good at that but I don't think he should be on here cause he didn't get good outta nowhere he got better every season
Green has always been a solid player, just watch his Michigan State highlights.
Justin TBNR draymond is overall af
What about Dennis Schroder?
I know right! Dennis is sure to win most improved player.
A Kid In Africa ikr.
A Kid In Africa nah lavine or Steven Adams
i dont know, Harrison Barnes might have a word in that discussion
I'm just saying, Dennis went from the d-league, averaging only 6 points per game. He's now dropping 27-33 points, averaging 18 points per game.
You're a fool bro 😂👍 subbed + notifications well deserved 👌
