Every player entering the NBA has a different story of how they got there. Some took the conventional route of stardom in either high school or college and was a high prospect going into the draft. An example of these is LeBron James, Kevin Durant or Anthony Davis. Others come unnoticed through the ranks but become stars in the pros. Portland has their own in Damian Lillard, as does Indiana with Paul George and Chicago with Jimmy Butler. Rarely do players take the road like Blazers power forward Cliff Alexander.
