WHAT HAPPENED To The TOP 25 High School Basketball Recruits Of 2014?

- Being in the top 25 of the 2014 high school basketball recruiting rankings pretty much guaranteed you a shot at the NBA… for some it might take a few years in college while for others, all throughout the top 25… they were freshman sensations that went on to become all-nba level players… but of course the end result and what their NBA experience actually looked like for each could be WILDLY different - regardless of how highly touted they were as high school recruits. One year you’re a top 5 high school player in the country, or completely overlooked among top 5 recruits, the next year your NBA dreams are over, or you’re one of the best young players in the NBA. Those kinds of stories are EVERYWHERE in the top 25 of this class.

That Winslow Hornets story is wild. The fact that they could've had several first round picks instead of Frank Kaminsky and chose Kaminsky anyway shows how badly they needed someone other than Jordan running the team. Just madness.
fr fr. STOP THE MADNESS. just stop. you have a problem.
lmao
all memes aside Jordan was the greatest basketball player. he had this killer instinct and this tenacious will about him. that's all he knows though. that callous competitive spirit to the point that he has players from his own title winning teams that do not like him or worse.
in that role his traits that made him a star on the court made him a cancer in the front office. that tenacious will just turns into melodramatic stubbornness amongst other franchise tumors.
theres no way any real conversation was going on in that front office and it was all mike and its so ridiculous. take a new team that was gonna have a hard time then just run that shit into the ground for the foreseeable future..
just understand this Michael was never ready to make decisions and all that shit, he could have and should have fallen back and watched his team. that doesnt mean you arent even allowed to walk inn on prractice or something.. nah. lol. stunning. truly.
The Celtics avoided a disaster. 4 draft picks for one unproven player. Celtics are lucky this did not happen and they are in a better position in 2023 than the Hornets are.
As a Celtics fan thank god for Micheal Jordan.
Not only that but I believe one of the picks were either the Tatum or the Brown pick

It'd be cool to see high school class, vs a draft class.
I'm curious to see which one had the least to most college experience, international experience.
see where the "unknown" international bump out the more known prospects.
From like 2010 - current, which draft class has the the most college/international experience in terms of games played, before being drafted.
You should definitely do that
Please make a series of videos about the top high school prospects over the years.
Could you do a bracket style tournament of best NBA draft classes of all time? Maybe even just a ranking list
Really interesting video. Its obvious how much scouts were still favoring traditional bigs.
Of course.
And its still true.
@@JimBob-jr5upbigs hardly get favoured know you can always get them past top 10
@@JayX7 uhhh, no?
Are you sure you dont mean point guards or dual guards?
Honestly, i cant believe someone said what you just said, so i really dont even know how to process and respond to it.
The only conclusion I can draw is that you just started watching basketball, and have not even with. And this is not insult to you, everyone has to start somewhere. So if you need some things explained i could help you out, thats not an issue.
@@JayX7 7fters still get picked over 6ft guards every day of the week
@@MrE_ rightfully so? tell me anyone drafted below mark Williams that is better than him. not one
Following Looney since HS, and he definitely has an incredible story of resilience
Great video. The volume continuity needs some work though, it's like watching tv and then BOOM, a commercial with max volume hits you lol. Seriously though, love the analysis.
New subscriber wow great video gang keep it up
Feel like Philly messed up Noel and okafor careers by drafting the centers back to back to back
And okafor was tuff but the injuries fuck it up
Ya think?
This is my complaint about "the process". People fail to realize that media was talking about tanking and the 6ers being a joke of a franchise at that time. Ownership demanded answers and thats when the whole "process" bullshit started. But they had no game plan in place, they were just hoping to land lebron 2 and then start from there.
@@JimBob-jr5upthey could of been good players while still being bad you know
@@troytheboy1985 what the holy hell are you talking about?
What does that have to do with anything?
They didnt have a plan of action for a team construction. This is made abundantly clear when you examine their draft, trade and signing history during those years.
Again... and i actually want to say someone from the FO stated this publicly one time but i cant say for certain, that was along time ago.
All they where doing was drafting the consensus next best player hoping that this player would be a franchise superstar that they could start building around. That was the extent of their plan until the pressure was put on them and heads where about to roll.
Sam hinkie set Philly back another 20 years lol
@@Dakidpepe That whole FO did.
All they had to do was value players a bit more and bring in a real coach.
I screamed as loud as i could, i even went on their coaches, trainers, etc social medias and told them... i started DMing everyone i could... Ben Simmons is not thst dude and before yall lose JJ, Butler and Embiid, yall need to trade Ben to the Rockets for CP3 and see what a problem CP3-JJ-Butler-Harris-Embiid is for the NBA.... thats a ring.
Joel Berry, UNC legend. Will forever be loved in Chapel Hill.
As a nuggets fan I was so high on Mudiay and was so convinced he would work
Best CZcamsr ever

As a hooper myself , none of these guys are Failures in the respective careers . Just to hear my name Drafted !! Man ! Great players bro frfr . God Bless
You are very underrated
You got the deangelo Russell nba story way wrong.
Literally my favorite CZcamsr. We have the exact same brain about basketball.
Well Jahlil Okafor was a good player however born into an nba that didn't suit his game!! 20 years ago would have been a consistent all star

Can you do the 2003 HS class?
That audio be working holy
I loved Justin Jackson's game in college, I thought he would be good in the league.
Chris McCullough is a legend import in the Philippines
Not so much of a legend tho. He played 1 conference in a stacked roster and hasn’t received any callbacks since.
wasnt devin robinson cut from the wizards after an off the court issue?
Tucker the 🐐
Stan van gundy ruined Stanley Johnson’s career. The scouting report on SJ was quite clear: great downhill driver of the ball, stout defender, Not a good shooter. So what does SVG do after Stanley Johnson? Forbid him from driving to the hoop and relegate him to 3 and D duty. Oh and, sign Marcus morris to start ahead of SJ, depriving SJ of extended runtime to utilize the skills that he already had in his bag while gradually honing new ones. SVG had good strategies with the Pistons, but managed the team HORRIBLY
He couldn't shoot or handle the ball, he wasn't good at scoring around the rim either.
@@petesmart1983 he was excellent at driving and finishing at the rim. Awful shooter. But SVG put him in a position where he was forced to do the thing he sucked at and wasn’t allowed to do the thing he was good at
Ah, 2010, I was wondering were Jordan Poole was
Fix the volume changes. 2:30 in and it’s like you’re leaving the mic after every pick 👎🏾👎🏾
Will do thanks
@@moresportinglogically4420 good video tho I did listen all the way thru 💪🏾💪🏾
18:19 number 5 making a business decision right there
I just talked to James Blackmon Jr., great guy
Devin Booker looks like he's always right about to fall asleep
Is this an old video?
Gotta do 2015
Scottie wasn't too wrong about Jordan tho. Everybody wanted to be like Mike which lead to the NBA being so bad during the 2000's
I enjoy the clips and games I’ve seen of the 2000’s NBA, but to each their own.
@@fortynights1513 the games were still enjoyable. That's when I became a fan, but the league was inefficient
It didn’t help either that the media kept looking for the next MJ.
All these list shows or should show these players this if you are not projected to get drafted in the 1st. round...Don't Come Out for The Draft!!!!! The money is not going anywhere, it will always be there! Make sure your overall game & not just athletic potential is complete. In the end, if u don't make it then what happens & there is going a new gaggle load of players next year to replace you!
The 2014 UNC class was awesome. Berry , Jackson, Pinson. Feel like just that class should be up in the rafters
As a Nugget and SMU fan Mudiay is a double burn
It's interesting, we have to take into account the fact that dudes are still growing in HS - so their physical gifts might not come to them until the college level
Is this Jason from MMA on point?
Rankings are based on what you have done so far. That is why there are always undrafted guys making professional teams. Others peak in high school or college and that is why just because you don’t necessarily go where you want keep at it and keep working as you could be a late developer.
a lot of rankings are projections
Kelly Obrue Jr is my top pick because he’s extremely hand ❤
15th isn't a lottery pick.
shoutout to my cousin Rashad “Shaddy”Vaughn.
You all need to wake up and smell the coffee. These guys go overseas and earn tons of money. Just because they don't play much in the NBA is meaningless. They are still very talented and "valuable" overseas.
The title is wrong it’s 2015
Dumbass 😂😂
tyus is the goat
Great video, but the fake film grain is kinda corny.
Playing overseas is not a failure....
Most of this class is from Texas
Point of this story is UNC players stay in college far too long

your audio levels are whack
My high school class! Jahlil gave us 34 in AAU and Max Irvin fire beat us by 27 lmao will never forget that ass whoopin
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved
