Mark Blount was a nobody for his first 3 seasons in the league until he erupted into a 10/7 guy in 2004!

Notice almost all of those guys are athletes who skills developed.

Really? Billups, Nash, Stockton, Ellis and Mason are not exactly what I would call elite athletes.  I think there is a pretty good mix of athletes that developed and high BBIQ guys who developed.

I agree, there isn't any pattern to see. I believe it's all in the head and their determination to reach their full potential. Obviously the mind is the hardest to predict.

  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
How about Danny Green?

Toiled with the Cavs and went to the D League. And then the Spurs gave him a shot and he turned into one of the premier role players in the NBA.

Gerald Green fits that a bit.
