Siro, can you please cue the Jeopardy music?

players who underperform on teams, whether overseas or in the NBA, are routinely given chances to start, even for half a season.

One that comes to mind (not 47th pick-- but still a 2nd rounder): Hassan Whiteside

lmfao. Emmk. Please keep going.
 
- several stints overseas, underwhelmed in each one
- 2nd rounder after-thought, considered a bust league-wide.
- gets to the Heat, is given a starting role, and takes the league by storm soon thereafter.

Another example: Jeremy Lin. Underwhelmed in China, blew up in New York. Wasnt even a 2nd rounder.
 
Hassan Whiteside's 2013-14 international stats: 20.6 points, 14.8 rebounds, 4.1 blocks, 54.3% from the floor.

He definitely underwhelmed overseas before Miami just miraculously gave him starts.
