170. Career Stats: 13.5 PPG, 5.7 APG and 4.0 RPG. Original Pick. Adam Morrison. Kyle Lowry. 3. player

Not unlike Millsap, it took a change of scenery and a full-time starting opportunity for Lowry to realise his full potential. Lowry has enjoyed his three best seasons in the NBA in his past four campaigns with the Toronto Raptors.

He was an All-Star in 2015 and 2016 and was also an All-NBA Third Team member and Olympic Gold Medalist for Team USA in 2016. After struggling to find his footing in Memphis and then Houston, Lowry has been able to maximise his abilities playing alongside DeMar DeRozan in the North.

Although Bobcats/Hornets fans potentially would’ve waited a while for Lowry to blossom in Charlotte, I’m pretty sure they would take that over Adam Morrison any day of the week.
