Summary

Every year, a couple of players become stars that nobody saw coming. Predicting such players with any certainty is impossible, but who are the players that at least have a chance to make big unexpected improvements? We lay out some general criteria for identifying such players, and then go through and pick those we think could really exceed expectations in the coming years. Then, the latest news on the NBA restart, signings, and a retrospective on the career of Vince Carter.

0:44.2

These are small percent chance of this actually happening

We are gonna be wrong on the vast vast majority of these and in fact
