We haven't seen a lot of young talent make this list thus far mainly because a lot of these youngsters have yet to prove themselves worthy of taking the throne of their respective home states. Yet, here we are crowning the 27-year-old, Tyler Johnson, the greatest NBA player from the state of North Dakota. His current competition for the king of Peace Garden State is fellow NBA alumni Doug McDermott who currently holds a roster spot on the Dallas Mavericks. Over the course of the next decade, these two will be attempting to outperform each other for the title of North Dakota's best.
However, for now, Tyler Johnson is deserving of the title averaging 11.0 points per game on 43% shooting. Johnson entered the league undrafted finding a home in Miami during the 2014-15 season. He spent five years with the Heat before landing in Phoenix where he currently is planning to make a name for himself. Only time will tell with this one. Doug McDermott, it's your move, bud.
