Giannis was taken 15th overall in the 2013 NBA draft. Now he's probably the league MVP, and has somewhat of a realistic chance to become an NBA champion! (Depends on the Warriors tbh).
Why did nearly half of the league miss out on this gem, and what became of the careers that were taken before him?
UPDATE:
3 days after this vid, MCW signed with the magic
Shabazz plays in the Chinese league apparently. Super under the radar as that info apparently exists in the one place I didn’t look (Wikipedia)
Here's how nearly half of the NBA missed out on Giannis, and where the players taken before him are now.

As a Wolves fan, can we get a "worst fuck-ups" type vid? I know we're on there a lot, but I mean, I just need to see others feel the pain of Kahn
This shit is really boring in my opinion. I'm sorry Dom, but I had to say it.
Great vid
In Giannis Antetokounnmpo case is not only potential, but also titan work, not hard work. He made titanic (not ship, wink towards Greek Mythology) work, to be where he is now
Ppl were surprised he got drafted at 15. He just had a high ceiling but was a long term project
my brother brought a giannis jersey the first week of his rookie season. I told him he was crazy turns out I was the crazy one.
Lmao
That don’t make you crazy. Giannis wasn’t a sure fire superstar player, he had to work for it
@@Jay-dn2pgso? He doubted his work ethic and potential based on his unreal body measurements.
@@andreivlaicu8536 People out here really be acting like Giannis wasn't a raw prospect lol. I guess whatever fits your narrative huh
@@andreivlaicu8536 Everyone can make mistakes. That's why we are humans and not gods. Besides answer me a question : Did you believe in Giannis from very beginning? I did not and now I have a pleasure to say, that I WAS WRONG. I and don't feel any shame to admit, that I was wrong and if I will ever meet Giannis I will tell him that and apologize to him about that. But I will not feel bad about it, because I know he changed my opinion about him with his titanic work
The other teams were scared of the name not fitting on their uniforms.

Victor Oladipo is finally taking his first steps today since his injury. it’s a great sight to see!
Will he be ready for the start of next season or recovery time will be a bit longer? Dipo is a player really fun to watch
I was really hoping to see him in the playoffs this year because this pacers team is unreal even without their star player
Bro his out for the season dawg😂😂

@@carolabenjamen902 Learn to read homie...
lmao that 2k14 draft in mycareer you’d be balling like Jordan and it’d always be ”With the first pick in the 2013 nba draft the cleveland cavaliers select... Anthony Bennet”
People don't understand how funny this is should have more likes 😭
Even 2K knew he was going to be a bust

And that ladies and gentlemen, is called a drag
@@Boss-cj6zn okay name anyone better and dont say harden

If you love us Dom you any of them
RichGang CEO he don’t got that time😭😭
198 players drafted before Tom Brady.
Ben Wallace would be interesting
You can say the same for Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, Draymond Green, most recently Mitchell Robinson from the Knicks.. All selected late in the draft but have high talent or potential.

Yeah I knew this was coming after the Steph video. Surprised u didn’t do Kawhi tho before Giannis.
That would be a damn long video
Henrobole They were both drafted at 15 lol wym
@@poonking3628 nah dude I just mean Dom has a lot more to talk about with the people selected before Kawhi in 2011
Dude Kawhi benefited so much from the Spurs system. Any reasonable person knows that. He was a solid player at San Diego, nothing special. His rookie and sophomore season was subpar but blossomed under Pop. Too many people are gonna be going "what if XXX drafted him" with Kawhi but I GUARANTEE that if Kawhi wasn't drafted by the Spurs, he would be NOWHERE near the player he is today.
Vince Carter but he wasn’t drafted by the spurs he was drafted by the pacers then traded to the spurs
First time i hear about Giannis i was...wow..there is person with my name in NBA for the first time.
When i saw him playing i think was his second season... i saw after one dunk he made, the dunk wasnt something special...but the look he made, like i am gonna eat you all here...that was the face...but skinny body... i was oook...he believed in himself... but honestly...i didnt believe that he will transform into monster Space Jam.
Who’s here after the bucks won the championship?
me
Man! You just randomly drop a funny line in a dry manner!
''Dafuq are they gonna tell us next? They found the dragon balls?''
Just love it!😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like if you’re drafting outside the top 5 you should not be looking for immediate contribution as your primary focus. It’s so hard to guess on things like this and it’s better to go with real potential
I remember on 2k14 it was almost impossible😂😂😂... I reapeat IMPOSSIBLE to get drafted #1 over "Anthony Bennet from UNLV"😂😂😂
plz tell me can you get to #2 pick i need to know 😂

I got #1 had to have a wilt chamberlain stat line
It is insane how many teams passed up on Jonas Jerebko even though he was clearly the best prospect since Lebron. The Pistons stole him in 2009 at pick 32 and he has not looked back since. He has carried the Warriors all season and will only get better in the postseason. Kerr held Jerebko out in their losses and look what happens in the Suns game, they got destroyed because he was a DNP due to Coach's decision yet he still did not miss a shot during that game. He is a superstar and will carry the warriors for years to come.
He's the next brian scalabrine
@@thorgod0824 I wouldn't go that far, we will see
@@thegreatnessdms8833 agreed
That’s kinda like saying Zach lavine is gonna carry the bulls to a championship. Maybe even like Lebron leading the lakers to the playoffs
It just probably won’t happen due to him being overshadowed by the other superstars
Why were 33 players drafted before Brian Scalabrine
a fucking travesty... nba is rigged af, man.
yeaaaaa if giannis somehow dethrones the warriors yet even make the finals, without a question hes the face of the nba
I don't think it'll be this year but definitely soon
Does the being the face of 2K19 count as close enough?

Why was Manu Ginobili drafted on the 2nd round 57th overall?
Woj announced on his podcast. That the Raps would have had OKC pick if Adams was takin off the board.
The Raps were really high on Giannis. He was their pick. You can tell by their draft pattern. They like raw potential players. Bruno and Siakem were later year draft picks.
You should do the 12 players drafted before Kobe or the 8 players drafted before Dirk
Or the fact that the Bucks drafted Dirk and then Don Nelson traded him for the great Robert "Tractor" Traylor.
Shabazz Muhammed TURNED DOWN 4 years / 40 million contract. Thought he could do better. Now he's out of the league. smh
@Brooklyn Fan-1 back during salary cap boom. Basically everyone who's a free agent at that time got overpaid ( or over-offered ).

Lmaoo
Or Chamberlain
Tadija Krstanovic chamberlain was drafted before the 1st round with a territorial pick
This aged well.
How do you not have 1,000,000 Subs yet Dom?? I ❤️ the content!!
I was asking myself that question at the Draft. I was seeing him at least top 7, with that physical presence + being that explosive off the dribble. One of the Steals of the Decade!
As a Greek, I'm a fan of him since he was 17 years of age. I've watched him here in Athens before the draft a lot of times. I believe that the way Jason Kidd and the Bucks developed him, it helped him a lot man. I mean, Kidd as the head coach + veteran as his guide, playing a different position every season, even the play maker at times.. These are amazing experiences for a guy that was so raw, like Giannis in the beginning. I bet that the development wouldn't be the same in another team, and I'm happy and glad with the way things went for him.
Actually kidd stopped him from shooting 3s hurt his development and wanted him to drive to the paint.Thats why his shot was ruined.
Cavs could have had Kyrie, Kawhi, Giannis, and Embiid. With lebron coming back in 2014.
Giving them a starting lineup of
PG: Kyrie
SG: Kawhi
SF: Lebron
PF: Giannis
C: Embiid.
That would be the best team of all time.
They wouldn’t have developed into what they are though
Giannis would've never developed into the player he is today if he played with lebron
They prob wouldn't have got the picks for all the years tho
Lebron would’ve traded his ass for fucking Kevin love 🙈
@@padraigoshea4634 They would have since Giannis and Kawhi werent very good in their first few years.

The more important thing is How did 13 players get drafted before Kobe Bryant before a 14th team finally traded him?
DAWGS ON TOP I feel like the whole coming out of high school thing really turned teams off
The whole I only wanna play for the Lakers thing turned teams off.
Best
Jerry West.
Kobe was picked 13th tho
The one and only thing GMs should consider when drafting is work ethic. Or at least it should be a really major issue
dionysis e Yeah definitely not the only thing
You can consider work ethic and motivation but you also have to consider their health and if their body is good enough to withstand an nba game look at greg oden for example
Μετράει και το ταλέντο πολύ
having work ethic forsnt always guarantee a great player. U could have great work ethic and never become more than a bench playet.
dionysis e wtf. So you would draft the worst college player if he has a world class work ethic? That's one of the most stupid things ever
14 players were drafted ahead of him because for every high potential athletic specimen that crushes it, there’s 30 that flop. He was far from a sure thing, and it took him years to hit this level.
I love the bucks!!!! I remember when we were so bad and had Brandon Jennings and would lose to the pre kemba bobcats.....
Greatest playoff series part 3 it’s wanted
The Ben McLemore one needs an update. He turned his career around and became a very valuable bench shooter
Teams that would’ve been great with Giannis in his draft season: Bulls w/ Butler (a low budget Jordan & Pippen), Hornets w/ Kemba (a more offensively gifted Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp)
According to his wikipedia page:
Shabazz Nagee Muhammad (born November 13, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Shanxi Brave Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).
You know, Otto Porter Jr. looks a lot more like Lavar Ball at first glance imo
Just in case you are lazy like me, here is a shortcut. Giannis was drafted low b/c he was considered a long term project who could not immediately contribute to a contending team.
His journey to the NBA is amazing. Sure dude is super athletic, genetically gifted but he worked so hard and continues to do so in order to be one of the leagues best.
You should make this a series for other players too💯
Foh clout chasher
Because he didn’t play in the NCAA it’s that simple
Lol hagahaha
Because he is european look to Luca Doncic if they are european they can’t be good
@@TheDreamtheaterlover lol
euroleague mvp, finals mvp, and alot of other achievement and plays so consistent are only picked at number 3 so having giannis that only playn at the second division of greek league at 15 is surely super high, we all know how they dislike and hate international prospect.
but not now when euro monsters start to take over NBA's best prospects
Giannis is my favorite player right now but to be fair to the teams that didn't draft him he was very raw back in the day and that draft class was a complicated one with lots of different mock drafts. Then Giannis exploded into a superstar. A lot of people didn't see it coming. Props to Bucks scouts that saw his amazing work ethic and potential.
I'm 4-11 when I activated "Playoff Mode"...That right there made me the greatest player of all time
God your such a loser lol
@@peewee130946 Says the guy who's parents forgot to give him capital letters in his name.
@@peewee130946 okay "Neal"
Neal Schuster oh you got me there lol not putting capital letters on my RUclips channel is the exact same as making an entire account spamming negative comments on 100s of videos just to hate on 1 man. Lmao yeah says me
@@jacksond4164 Okay, "Jackson Dick"
And people think Fultz is magically going to get it together in Orlando.
?
In my opinion, no team deserves too much blame due to Giannis being completely unknown at the time. I have never even heard him until he was drafted. However, I will put semi-blame on two particular teams that didn't have much excuses to not draft him. Charlotte and Detroit could be in the Finals right now instead of Milwaukee. Especially Detroit, because I feel they would have traded back for Khris Middleton when they originally shipped him off for Brandon Jennings.
But that's just me. As as the time of this comment, The Bucks can clinch the title tonight, so let me know if you think if the Bucks win and Giannis wins Finals MVP if he's already the 2nd greatest PF of all time due to the potential future amazing resume for him. He would have a Finals MVP like Dirk but better defensively, he would win a title unlike Barkley or Mr. Pedophile and would still be in his prime after winning unlike Garnett.
Im binging all of your videos, and man all i gotta say is basketball is beautiful. It has its action packed, butterflies, funny moments, and its drama all intertwined in history.
I've been a trailblazers fan my whole life and tbh it would've been great to have giannis but i couldnt imagine a portland team now without cj he has been great for us and him and damian make an amazing back court duo also cj every now and then can drop a 40 bomb or even a 50 to me i couldnt imagine a portland team without him and i hope he gets better soon much love to cj get better soon buddy.
Connor Brock You’d rather get swept in the first round by the Pelicans than have the Greek Freak?🤣🤣
Cavs could've drafted Giannis and probably still get Love from Minnesota for Wiggins which made sense because the hype was insane. So you would've had LeBron, Kyrie, Love, and Giannis
I've lived in Milwaukee and been a Bucks fan my entire life. I can't believe this is happening.
Yo Dom sounds like someone who could be on tv shows with voice overs for like famous nba teams or those shows dedicated to a legend or current player low key love this dudes content
Next: Why were 59 players drafted before Isaiah Thomas? Where are they now?
Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Tobias Harris, Kenned Faried, Jonas Valanciunas, Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert, Nikola Mirotic
alopez1571 damn 😂😂
Because he's not great
This video would be about an hour lmao
I am so glad Hammond took that risk back in 2013. Giannis is bringing my city to heights that we haven't seen in nearly 50 years. Coupled with the fact that his supporting cast and coach are so solid makes me hopeful for not only this year but the next couple. As well as the Bucks, the Brewers are bringing competitive baseball back to Milwaukee and it makes me so proud to live here.
Two top 3 players were drafted 15th overall like how was Kawhi and Giannis drafted so late
It’s crazy never give up on your dreams as basic as it sounds it’s true
Damn I feel bad for Charlotte (particularry for Kemba) since Kemba and Giannis would complement each other verry well. But Giannis in Minnesota would be great as well. He could´ve learned much from KG and Towns + Giannis is just lethal. Especially if they kept Lavine instead of the Butler trade. This trio would be the most athletic team in the NBA also Zach and Towns can hit the 3 to compliment giannis.
I'm really enjoying this new series, keep it up Dom!
Giannis was a skinny, 6'6 SG who joined the league with most people only expecting him to be a decent roleplayer. Then he grew 5 inches, bulked up and moved to the PF spot and with his new strength, began bullying people with his athleticism. No one was in the wrong for selecting other players above him, he was a one in a million to become the next great NBA player.
I’m new to the channel, but sick intro man!
What’s the best NBA draft class
1984, 1996, or 2003
I think 1996 bc if you redid the draft the first 10 teams would get a all star player I think that draft had 10 all stars and like 3/4 average starter or key role player
Let’s be for real
Is this gonna be the first time ever that the first 5 picks in the draft are gonna be All-Rookie first team🧐
just wanna show you some love brah. this video was well done, very well put together and informative. appreciate you.
I remember being a die hard Ben McLemore fan. I used to always make him a 99 overall in 2k's
Nobody:

Imagine Giannis was drafted to the cavaliers
Ben Macklemore is ballin on the rockets now
Man this is such a great series, preciate it.
Bucks were the perfect landing spot for him to grow without the bright lights. And even though as a bucks fan it hurts me to say this. But Jason Kidd helped him alot to grow.

Kali Der Löwe bet
You're lying
Gianna’s broke the rebounding record in my 2k14 my career mode game that’s when I first heard of him lmao
he hit the game winner for me in the finals he was 70 ovr coming of the bench lol
Reich Spector lol I think it was 2k15 or something and I was playing against the bucks then I saw this huge ass name under his feet 😂
Draft that has many surprises. Bad and good surprises
The combo of Giannis and Middleton right now is pretty much one of the best in the league
Can you do 12 player drafted before kobe
The first six were pretty solid and had two Hall-of-Famers, though still not better than Kobe. 7 through 12 though... yikes. And then from 14 onwards you have Nash, Stojakovic, (Jermaine) O'Neal, Ilgauskas, and... Derek Fisher. Haha.
kaikaichen + Kobe was ass his rookie season
Good: Giannis
Bad: Bruno
13:35 aaand McCollum sends the blazers to the WCF
Giannis was the definition of a lottery ticket he was super raw he did not played in any euroleague teams basically the only upside was physically attributes so everybody was not willing to risk there pick a clear long term project but right everyteam regret there decision especially the i mean common bennet really ANTHONY FUCKING BENNET the cavs gm should right now
Another one of these? Hey I’m not complaining. The Steph curry video was great and I’m sure this one will be.
Why was Bennett drafted 1st Overall again? At least the 6 year curse will be broken when Zion goes #1.
Uhh Pretty Sure That's Been Broken...
There were dozens of NBA scouts in Greece watching young Yiannis. Not just some grainy footage.
Me and my friend Logan were telling our friends he was gonna be nice before the 2015-16 season now he going crazy that was only right before his third year
Could of been lebron kyrie and giannis on the Cavs smh
It wouldn't have worked anyway,tbh.
Because Giannis was a project player coming into the draft, and his game wasn't refined nor was he as strong as he is now
It happened because he was just another Euro prospect at the time. I don't blame anybody for not taking him with a lottery pick. It's ALWAYS easy in hindsight. At the time, well, he was just another young guy from the Euro Leagues.
And He was a Raw Prospect too
Giannis was passed on because he was 6’10 and like 200 pounds he was so light and skinny. No one even knew he would become a face of the nba and people think the cavs were bad for drafting Anthony Bennett but they had no idea he would be bad
