Erick Green

College basketball's leading scorer in 2012–13 at 25.0 points a game, Erick Green won ACC Player of the Year at Virginia Tech despite a last-place team — joining Len Bias as the only players ever honored from teams with losing conference records. Utah drafted him 46th in 2013 and traded his rights that same night, but the Jazz circled back in January 2016, signing him to two 10-day contracts.

Europe became his stage: a EuroLeague final with Olympiacos in 2017, a Spanish Supercup MVP award with Valencia, stints from Fenerbahçe to Budućnost. The Winchester, Virginia guard was still playing in Italy with Cantù years later.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah drafted him 46th overall in 2013 and traded his rights away the same day. Two and a half years later the same club signed him to a 10-day contract.
