Quietly, Josh Howard has always been doing his thing. From a successful high school career to being named ACC Player of the Year as a senior at Wake Forest, the North Carolina native leaves his mark at every level. Yet, somehow, he slipped to 29th in the 2003 NBA Draft, where the Mavs snagged him. Maybe if there was a remix things would change this time around.—Adam Fleischer
