NBA Draft: Looking back at unranked misfires
The 2018 NBA Draft tips off Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. While there will be no shortage of players who were highly ranked in high school that hear their names called, history also tells us that players who didn't finish inside the Rivals150 will also be taken in the first round.
Usually, somewhere in the neighborhood of four players who weren't ranked as high schoolers will be taken in the first round. So, I decided to look back at the 10 biggest rankings misses relative to draft position of the last 10 years. Some of these guys came through high school during my Rivals.com tenure, some preceded me. But, I did see them and with the benefit of hindsight I can't help but wonder if myself, coaches or the recruiting industry should have seen what was coming or if there was just no way to know
