Yo Dom how would you feel about a mid season single elimination tournament in each division as a way to make the season more interesting? I know Adam silver is thinking of adding some other kind of event to change things up. This way theres a legit divisional crown instead of just whoever has the best record.

With all due respect the reason why Steph Curry was able to take power not even is because of his ability to shoot but injuries Steph went through all the injuries when guys like d-rose and Russell Westbrook were considered the two best point guards in the league now after D Rose has been hurt and Russell Westbrook being injured at points in his career led to the elevation of Steph Curry because with all due respect had Russell and Kevin Durant been healthy going into the 2014-2015 postseason I don't think the Warriors would have beat them if Kyrie and Kevin Love with healthy the Warriors wouldn't have won the finals and they proved it because next year you went down 3-1 and had Kevin Durant not wanting to join your team you wouldn't have went to the finals and you blew a 3-1 lead and in the grand scheme of things no point guard in the last 25 years has been able to win Finals MVP and be the best player on his team wow averaging 25 or more let alone having that shooting first mindset so realistically teams were looking for people to be Playmakers because it's easier to find guys who have won championships averaging six or more assist at the guard position then it would be to find somebody averaging 25 or more

Awesome, entertaining and overall well-made video, Dom. It's always interesting going back into the time machine and seeing who the new faces of the NBA were back a decade ago and seeing where they ended up. I'm glad you didn't just make this a "bust or not" video and actually made it a lot more nuanced. Hindsight is definitely 20/20, but videos like these show just how much of a role luck, bad luck (injuries), bad management, and the evolution of the game play in determining the outcome of any given player's career. I very clearly remember how hyped Thabeet was, and Johnny Flynn is a name I was much more familiar with at the time than James Harden or even Blake Griffin (I only knew him from the cover of that college basketball video game, haha). Tyreke Evans was a beast back then. But how on Earth an organization is supposed to predict the crazy factors that completely change the course of a career is beyond me, so it really makes you wonder if their draft picks could be considered mistakes (for the reasons you mention, I.e. stockier, more athletic guards being generally more favorable than shoot-first guards). All in all, once again, a very cool and very thought-provoking video.

Anyone who knows a little about Stephen Curry's past shortly before the NBA knew that NBA teams were worried that he was way too small for the league. They knew he could shoot, but thought he was too little. Even the Warriors didn't see that potential, but because these 6 players got taken before Steph, the Warriors picked him up. As early as Monta Ellis left, the Warriors saw that Steph could do so much for the team.

Steph Curry was so exciting to watch at Davidson, so I wanted him to do well in the NBA, I wouldn't say he was underrated based on his age & build at the time. I also remember everyone kinda just assuming the Knicks would draft one of the Hyped up Point Guards, but them Minnesota had to draft 2 & then the Warriors shocked everyone by taking Curry despite having Ellis & Davis.

Dom i love this series. Maybe u could do what if some historic legends were drafted today. Like Bird, Kareem, Reggie Miller etc

This is a dope retrospect of the hype of Johnny Flynn dude was really nice I often wonder what he would’ve done in the nba, and you’re right he was the type of guard the nba salivated over, ultra athletic.I liked curry but I had no idea he’d change the you can’t win shooting jump shots narrative forever.

Steph is one in a billion. No one knew his true potential at the time, including the warriors management. Some saw him as a better or worse fit depending on the type of squad they were trying to build. In retrospect the vision is always 20/20. Also, he thrives with GSW the way he never would have with Knicks. Green, Iggy and Klay were just as instrumental to this saga of success that is GSW

0ldCat yeah and Mark Jackson started all of that just to get rid of the brother they never made it to the playoffs until Mark Jackson arrived

Why were 6 people drafted before curry? Cause hindsight is 20/20

Nice video!

We also gotta give the Warriors some credit for having a smart-ass coach and for putting great players around Curry.

Make a Brooklyn Nets video

EXCELLENT VIDEO! THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD ASSESSMENT OF EACH! THE GUYS TODAY DON'T REALIZE IT TAKES DEDICATION TO LIVE UP TO THE HYPE, INVOLVED IN BEING CHOSEN,BY A TEAM! THINK ABOUT THIS: GOLDEN STATE WOULD HAVE 5 TITLES IF IT WEREN'T FOR A FEW INCIDENCES THAT DERAILED THAT NUMBER! ALL WITH STEPH AT THE HELMS OF THOSE TEAMS! WOW! OF COURSE, HE NEEDED DRAY AND KLAY TO AUGMENT HIS EFFORTS! IF GOLDEN STATE DRAFTS RIGHT, WATCH OUT! EARL OF EL BARRIO, NYC, N.Y. 4/8/20. 11.42 am

Great video

I went looking for Johnny Flynn too, after he gave me the business on 2k11 (laughs).

I don't think people hate James Harden, they just don't respect him. He only plays half the game.

Paul Le Fevre *in my opinion* he just travels and he chucks up shots that he hopes go in. other than that, like his finishes i’d choose over almost anyone. but tbh, he needs to stop taking so many threes🤷🏽‍♀️

Hindsight is 20/20 but I probably would have picked all of these guys before Curry except Flynn and Rubio... Especially in that season

Hey Dom, I got an idea for a video You could do a “Top 10 what if moments in nba history” For example what if mike never retired or what if there was a kobe-lebron finals Love your content keep it up

Thabeet was so nice in college and stephs tourney run was amazing. I was across my street shooting shots in my driveway lol

skip to 1:30 you're welcome

Stephen Curry Tiny!? "Cries in 5'3"

its obvious why history plays out the way it does instead of playing out to what has happened in recent events

Eyyy respect for that J-Rich Jersey 🤘🏼 my favorite nba player of all time

Good old Johnny Flynn 😂😂😂

eh I don't think Flynn or anyone else should be looked down upon for being drafted before curry, he came out of Davidson and no one expected him to go top 3, it was a hit or miss pick for the warriors and man did they hit a home run

I remember this draft which had a ton of good players. Knicks fans are still salty to this day they didn't get Curry, but I don't think he would have developed the way he did on any other team and not have been as good. Marc Jackson did a great job of developing him and Klay into the splash brothers and he was the one that warned us of the future to be.

That scouting report is gold because Even tho it looks bad Don Nelson already had a vision and Steve Kerr took it to a whole new level we have never seen. Don Nelson might be forgotten by NBA fans but dubs fan will treasure this man forever mark my words.

Fans," this video is too short," Dom2k," fine, Isaiah Thomas, why were 59 players drafted before him."

The title says "Where are they now", and also he said in the beginning it was because he wasnt the ideal player for the game back then, but obviously now its changed

"Through 3 titles and probably 4 in a few months" HEHEHE

Minnesota man, also Jrue Holiday, Ty lawson, Jeff Teague and Darren Collison were drafted in 2009 and they struck out pretty bad with Johnny Flynn, its sad what one injury can do to someone's career but the timberwolves had a ton of options as far as point guards go and they had 2 picks so it's hard to see them make the decisions they and in the end all the bad luck and misfortune went their way.

You're accurate from front to finish frfr

The Timberwolves could've had Steph Curry and Demar Derozan. SMH.

The reason the wolves didn’t pick curry was because dell said that curry didn’t want to play in MN

He also told the same thing to golden state. But they didnt listen to his father. Weaksauce excuse

I was just thinking of Thabeet this past week. While he probably won't make it back to the NBA, he could be a solid G League who gets occasional 10 day contracts, or could sign on with one of the teams in The Basketball League

People don’t realize how amazing Rubio was his rookie year with his passing

James Harden and Blake Griffin are legends

But was any of them steph curry with a 40 inch vertical?
