April 7, 200818 yr Nash... Steve Nash anyone? He was a 3rd string pg his rookie year..and now he's a 2 time MVP :thumb:
April 7, 200818 yr Dave Cowens Despite some critics who felt Cowens was too small to play center, Cowens was selected as the fourth overall pick by the Boston Celtics during the 1970 NBA Draft, largely at the recommendation of former Celtics center Bill Russell. During his rookie year, Cowens averaged 17.0 points per game and 15.0 rebounds per game, and shared the NBA's Rookie of the Year honors with Portland's Geoff Petrie. He also led the league in personal fouls that same year.

April 7, 200818 yr Latrell Sprewell should be on here. He was relatively unheraled coming out of Alabama and wasn't drafted until the 24th pick of the 1992 draft and ended up averaging 18.3 PPG 4.0 Reb and 4.1 Asst over a 13 year career that included 4 All Star Game appearances and 1 All-NBA First Team. He didn't even play organized basketball until his senior year in high school and played JUCO ball before spending 2 seasons at Alabama. He made All SEC but wasn't on any of the All-American teams.

I think once you beat up your Coach, you should be forgotten about.
April 7, 200818 yr I think once you beat up your Coach, you should be forgotten about. Hey now, he didn't beat him up--he choked him.
April 8, 200818 yr Avery Johnson - Undrafted Raja Bell - Undrafted Brad Miller - Undrafted Earl Boykins - Undrafted
April 8, 200818 yr I think the Nocioni guy for the Bulls was undrafted also. He also didn't play in college, at least in the USA. The thread is about College Sleepers, lots of international players get drafted late (or not at all) with the understanding that they won't come over to play for a few years.
April 8, 200818 yr Rashard Lewis was a mid to late second round pick I believe. He was the man with Ray Allen in Seattle and has remained a very effective starter in Orlando.

Someone else that didn't read the thread title. Lewis didn't play in college, he went straight form high school to the pros. This is about college players that overachieved, not high school or foreign players that got drafted late.

April 8, 200818 yr Yep, my bad on that. No need to be rude though... Sorry, not trying to be. I just pointed it out the post before yours though. Not trying to give you a hard time--you know I like you....
