Talking about anyone who has played in the D-League or undrafted players from the D-League. Farmar was actually drafted in the first round but was just sent down so he could get playing time.

Reggie Williams is another name to throw in the discussion.

Good point. IMO, its more of an accomplishment if a undrafted guy makes it thru the ranks and makes a NBA team. Right now I'd have to say Azubuike off the top of my head.

I think Shannon Brown has enough merits to be in the discussion.

Flynn played in the NBDL but just to get in shape so that's not counted

Depends on what your criteria is - considering that Brown was also a first round pick (not to mention that he only played 5 games in the NBDL IIRC and was sent down per his own request). Brown is a very talented player and I'm not saying that he doesn't belong in the conversation - but it just depends on your criteria.

+1. Although I have the wonder WTF where the Cav's FO thinking when they gave up on Brown way too early.

Shannon Brown was part of the trade that got the Cavs Ben Wallace and Joe Smith. I don't know if the Cavs necessarily gave up on Brown. The Bulls might have wanted him to make the deal happen. Shannon has done well for himself. But it's not like he's a franchise changing star. Could the Cavs use him now? Sure. But is he the type of player that every team he's been on before is going to be devastated because they didn't keep him? Unlikely. The kid is a freak of an athlete though.
