What Happened To The Players Drafted Before & After Steph Curry? 

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.

I’ll never forget when Casspi and Curry had that 3 point duel 😂

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

Jonny Flynn could have had a shot at a strong career if that injury didn’t kill all the athleticism he relied on. Being drafted by Minnesota didn’t exactly help his chances either

Griffin, Harden, Curry, Derozen all great

In another universe ty Lawson is living out his best days as a backup-3rd string pg on the nuggets now and has that chip

Clippers made the right choice at that time, they brought relevance to a dead franchise and wouldn’t been able to get kawhi, Pg and a new stadium from them lob city years

Hey man, not a NBA fan but love learning about other sports history. Gotta say you do a great job explaining cause I feel like I got a good glimpse of NBA in these videos of yours. Cheers from France.

Just found your channel and absolutely love it!!! Kind of crazy how going into this draft, the two biggest questions surrounding Curry were if he would stay healthy & if his game would translate/develop in the NBA: the exact two things that plagued the prior picks

Watched only 2 videos but I already love to watch them. You put in so much effort :3

U deserve so much more subscribers for ur high quality vids

This video was so detailed! Holyy. Great video!

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

U deserve so much more subscribers for ur high quality vids. Griffin, Harden, Curry, Derozen all great.

Awesome video. Appreciated how you went over every player in detail and didn’t just pick the biggest names

Keep it going man 🔥 Respect for the thought and research you put into these videos

Another great video

Tyler Hansborough was the Tim Tebow of college basketball. Never wanted him to win because he was obnoxious, but was obnoxious because he was so good at that level.

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. Sidenote: just found your channel. Very interesting content. Subscribed.

How do people not say James harden isn’t amazing he averaged 30 for 3 years straight

Lol okc chose to pay the wrong players and didnt expect the big cap increase

Just imagine The Wolves took Curry and DeRozan 🤯

You looking at it from the point of view of now…nobody knew Steph would be what he is today just like Jokic.. but yo videos 🔥 tho fosho

I liked Johnny Flynn. I never knew about the hip injury though. I wondered why he just disappeared.

Me reading "nbadleague" "What the hell is N-bad League?" 🤐

1:52 no one finna talk about that voice crack

This draft was soo bad man

Very Good👍🏽 OJ MAYO name from past

Jodie Meeks last played in toronto also won the championship in 2019

If this draft was redrafted, Curry and Harden are going 1st and 2nd Griffin is a top 5 pick as is Derozan and maybe Tyreke Evans

David sterns voice always be cracking

PTSD for my thunder. Harden didn’t have to go but at the time it made sense he just tribes into something he wasn’t in OKC with two ball dominate players that were better then him

dude hardens step back three is traveling

Blake wasn’t a bust, he just relied too heavily upon his athleticism which is why he burnt out relatively quickly

Spelt Melbourne as in Jason Bourne but pronounced Mel-Ben as in Big Ben

Fun Fact: when steve kerr was the suns gm he almost got us steph

What was with that Rubio section? Brief mention of 2011 then straight to 2022?

Blake was great pick

Should mention the Knicks really wanted Curry, but got screwed by picking after the Warriors

Imagine Jeff Teague being an All-star over much deserving players like Richard Jefferson, Mike Bibby and, Monta Ellis

This class is actually great but their health and career are pretty short.

Bro said baskenpaul

The Clippers were a backyard basketball custom team until they drafted Blake

Blake is a great pick, his injuries ruined him.

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.

2:21 you did say basketball correctly

Jonny Flynn was Jonny Flynn he was a dud

Did you say hill played over seas then say he played in the North American League lmfao😂

First overall picks are expected to lift teams to contention.. Then goes on to disprove his point by saying only 5 have done it. This video proves itself wrong multiple times. Making sure this doesn't show in my feed again

We would of had a ring if cp3 didn’t get hurt 🥲🥲

Wtf happened to OJ Mayo??

To be fair if anyone says they saw Steph Curry being this good youse a damn lie... Nobody saw that coming.

I hated that nuggets put time into him

Yeah, but Taiwan Beer is the only thing cool about them since they are middle of a pack team in 3rd Taiwanese league

These videos be funny lol..they always make like they would of made the right pick …like he would of drafted anthony black over victor wemby

Damn 1% of people liked the vid that seen it

Disagree. Blake and harden were awesome. There is no moral in this story, this is a make or break RISK is always included.

u ask why many teams passed on steph like that, well, just like you, they didnt know that curry will bloom into steph that we all know now, if youre on their shoe that time, will you ever pick steph that night? or youre just sayin all this things because u knew that steph is a super star now

blake tlaga eh sayang yung katwan at talent😢

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

No

Try

You did not say basketball, right

Firm no on blake? Come on man. Stupid take

I win

This dude need a new job
