Top 10 Undrafted NBA Players Of All Time

NBA Finals Game 3: San Antonio Spurs v Detroit Pistons
Ben Wallace

#7 Jose Calderon

Toronto Raptors v New York Knicks
Jose Calderon

Jose Calderon may be one of the worst defenders in NBA history, but he does make up for it somewhat with his ability on offense. Calderon spent 6 seasons in Spain before he was signed by the Raptors in 2005. He finished 3rd among rookies that year in assists, only behind Chris Paul and Raymond Felton.

By his 3rd season, Calderon was one of the better Point Guards in the league, often ranking among the league leaders in assists. He is currently the all-time leader in assists in Toronto Raptors history. He was also an extremely efficient shooter and in 2008/09, shattered the NBA record by shooting 98.1% from the free throw line. Calderon also narrowly missed out on joining the 50-40-90 club in his 3rd season. Even though he managed to post those shooting percentages, he didn't shoot enough free throws to qualify.

The knock on Calderon has always been his lack of playoff success, having never gotten out of the first round.
