10 NBA stars who outperformed their high school ranking


I decided to look back at the 10 biggest rankings misses relative to draft position of the last 10 years. There isn't any kind of time machine or advanced scouting that could have allowed somebody to entertain the thought that 3-star Steph Curry would end up the best shooter in the history of the game. I saw 2-star Damian Lillard play exactly one time. He went off. (Rivals.com)
