24. Goran Dragic, 2008 NBA Draft, No. 45 overall, San Antonio Spurs

Dragic stayed overseas playing in Spain and Slovenia until 2007 when he signed with the Phoenix Suns. After being traded back and forth between the Suns and Rockets, Dragic burst onto the scene in 2011 when he averaged 11.7 points for the Suns.

Two years later, he averaged a career-high 20.3 points for the Suns and also was named the Most Improved Player of the NBA. Dragic has proven to be a great point guard in a league that is filled with elite ones. This past season, Dragic was traded to the Miami Heat after 52 games, where he continued to produce statistically.

For his career, Dragic is averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game. Dragic is a free agent this summer and whoever is lucky enough to sign him will be getting a great player who still hasn’t reached his full potential.
