Stephen Curry was a must-watch midmajor star during his last few collegiate seasons at Davidson, thanks to the sharpshooting that has gone on to transform the NBA. When he left college for the pros in 2009, his mantle was taken up by BYU's Jimmer Fredette, a gunner from Glens Falls, N.Y. who lit up the Mountain West en route to becoming a consensus All-American and the national player of the year in 2011.
Fredette's basketball journey took him from Upstate New York to Provo, Utah to a trip around the world. The No. 10 pick in the 2011 NBA draft, Fredette had stints with the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns before embarking on an international career. He became a superstar playing in China and Greece, winning the Greek League and joining the EuroLeague's 50-40-90 club playing for Rick Pitino with Panathinaikos.
