WHERE ARE THEY NOW? The players that NBA teams are kicking themselves for drafting before Draymond Green in 2012

The Golden State Warriors hold a certain underdog type of mentality.

No one embodies that more than Draymond Green, who has evolved from a second-round pick, to a role player, starter, and now, a legitimate NBA superstar.

Green is not only valuable to the Warriors — he holds his own as one of the best players in the entire league. Green was second in the NBA in triple-doubles this season, and he's flummoxed teams with his ability to handle the ball, shoot three-pointers, and guard all five positions at 6-foot-6.

That he lasted until the 35th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft has a number of teams kicking themselves. Here's a look at some of the most notable players drafted before Green four years ago.

The 2012 Draft looks like a good one for the most part. Anthony Davis was taken with the No. 1 pick by the (then) New Orleans Hornets.



Today, Davis is an All-NBA forward for the Pelicans.



There were other good first-round choices. Bradley Beal was drafted third by the Washington Wizards.
