Simple, players that have changed their in-game style of play so drastically from two different points of their careers.

TJ Ford comes to mind. In HS he was known as a pure point. HIs freshman year at Texas, we know what he did. Now, the dude jacks it up like no other point guard. Hanging around the Lucas boys too much maybe?

Kwame Brown is another one. In HS he was being compared to KG. He would literally bring the ball up at times in HS and people talked about his ball-handling skills being so advanced to be that size. His quickness was another strong suit. Now, not very althetic, serviceable defensive post player who is NOT an offensive threat.

Jared Jeffries? Decent offensive player in H.S. And NCAA. Even led IU to the title game. Since then his offensive game decayed, and now he's a defensive specialist.

I definitely remember Kwame's first summer league game and that fool crossing dudes over at the top of the key like a guard and getting to the cup.

I don't know #@* happened.

Kevin Love has developed a three-point shot since coming into the league.

Corey Brewer is not the stud defensive player like everyone thinks he is.

Michael Redd comes to mind. Coming out of O$U, his weakness was his shooting ability, and now it's his strong suit.

Really? Oh alright. Well in his rookie year he only had 19 attempts and in his sophomore year (last season) he had 106 attempts while missing a month of the season too. Seemed like it came out of nowhere.

Good one.  He's the perfect example of hard work paying off.
