Best NBA Players That Didn't Make "Rivals 150" Prospect Ranking in High School







Something kind of cool here.  Tomorrow a bunch of top recruits will be announcing where they are going to play basketball next year.  Jahlil Okafor, Cliff Alexander, Tyus Jones, and Stanley Johnson are all expected to make their selections with Jones and Okafor supposedly committing to the same program because of their bromance.  This list has been floating around the internet showing the top 15 guys that weren't highly recruited.  A few pretty big names up there with Steph and Westbrook.  Some smaller schools, some snuck in with scholarships like Russ did at UCLA.  I don't know what idiot put Ramon Sessions and JaVale Mcgee above Damian Lillard, but you can just ignore that.  I sure as fuck did.

Am I being stupid here?  Isn't recruiting kind of supposed to be a huge deal in college sports?  I understand some of these guards slipping because maybe they couldn't shoot or they didn't have ideal size but how is Roy Hibbert, a 7'2 big man with natural shotblocking capabilities and pretty decent athleticism not getting recruited? Aren't they basically stalking kindergartens now looking for the dopest ballers in the game? Nope, who needs a girthy giant to guard the post, ridiculous question.  I guess that's why they're the professional collegiate scouts and I'm at home trying to nab an unpaid internship with a smut blog*.









PS - LOVE that Russell Westbrook is number one.  Dude plays with a bigger chip on his shoulder than anyone else.  Everyone bitching about get KD the ball, why don't you pass it more.  Um hello, because WestCrook is a motherfucking boss hound who gets straight buckets.  Yes, Durant is the best player on the Thunder, but if you think its by a large margin then you're just flat out not watching the games.  This motherfucker is electric. Top 10 player, hands down.








This just doesn't even look real.
