Nassir Little

Nassir Little is one of those guys who came into the league carrying serious hype — top recruit, UNC bloodlines, 6-foot-6 with a frame built for the NBA — and yet his career somehow became a long exercise in patience. Portland picked him in 2019 and there were flashes, real flashes, of that explosive wing who could lock down perimeter players and attack the rim, but injuries kept derailing momentum at the worst possible times. I never fully lost hope on him though, because the physical tools are just too obvious to ignore. After a season with the Chiba Jets, he's now lining up for the Saga Ballooners in Japan's B.League, which isn't a footnote — it's a legitimate pro stage where guys rediscover themselves. That move tells me he still wants to play and prove something, and honestly I'm rooting for the full version of Nassir Little to finally show up.
