How Did _______ Go Undrafted/Unsigned???

[Ninjaz In Paris]

There's times where a player can be pretty popular or dominant in a sport in College but not get picked up at all. I understand maybe his mechanics were shyt or whatever who knows but how does someone like Juice Williams go completely undrafted???

I know there's several players across different sports but it's crazy how cats like Juice Williams & Michael Bishop get ZERO looks in the NFL but Tim Tebow nationally known to be terrible keeps getting tryouts? Not a shot at Tebow because there's plenty of examples but

John Starks is up there when talking about the NBA.

Not many guys get into the league, make an all-star team, win 6th man of the year, make a defensive team and have a decent career after not getting drafted and ALMOST getting cut by the knicks if it wasn't for an injury.

Not many highlight videos for him, but dropping it here for the younger cats who didn't watch much of him.


Jeremy Lin is a good story also, but Starks > Lin

Don't have a particular example offhand, but in general UDFAs turn out better than 7th rounders almost every season

That's because they pick and choose where they go if there's interest

Rather be unsigned than a second round NBA draft pick or 7th round in the nfl

Wesley Matthews is a recent one. Wasn't Ben Wallace undrafted?

[Darealtwo1]

because these scouts depend on rivals hs ranking to tell them who can play

Marques Colston was a 7th round pick in 2006 (252nd out of 255) and is still on the New Orleans Saints roster.
Kurt Warner wasn't drafted, won 3 MVPs and a Super Bowl and will be a Hall of Famer.

I still think Dionte Christmas from Temple deserved a real chance in the NBA. I know it was only the Atlantic-10 but he had the juice
