In summary there have been 17 guys going back to 2012. As of right now there are two guys from this group consistently starting games. This isn't exactly a ton of success.

2016 -
Malik BEasly (19) Started one game in his second season for Denver. Averaging 9 minutes and 3 PPG this year.
Malachi Richardson (22) Started 4 career games. Currently averaging 5 minutes and 2 PPG for a very deep raptors team.
Skal Labissière (28) Occasional starter for the Kings. Started 37 games in two seasons averaging roughly 9 ppg.
Dejounte Murray (29) Has been thrust into a consistent starting role for the Spurs. Started 41 games this year averaging 8 ppg, 2 arg, 5 rpg.
Deyonta Davis (31) getting 14 minutes per game for a terrible memphis team. Averaging 5.6 ppg.
Cheik Diallo (33) getting 11 minutes per game for the Pelicans. Nothing of note.
Diamond Stone (40) Gleague
Stephen Zimmerman (41) GLeague

2015 -
Tyus Jones (24) Still only 21 years old. Has started 10 career games. Solid backup who still has upside.
Kevin Looney (30) Backup for the Warriors who is starting to get minutes with all their injuries. Started 6 career games.

2014 -
Tyler Ennis (18) played for four teams in four years. Has been a backup primarily but started 21 career games.

2013 -
Archie Goodwin (29) playing his 6th NBA season. Is a backup for a terrible team. Has started 15 games in his career.
Grant Jerrett (40) G-League/International
Ricky Ledo (43) G-league/International

2012 -
Tony Wroten (25) played a few years in the NBA, now is GLeague
Marquis Teague (29) played a few years in the NBA, then international, now is G-League
Quincy Miller (38) played 4 years in the NBA as a backup and is now a contributor in EuroLeague.

Looking back at 2011 there were a few good guys in Cory Joseph and Tobias Harris (who has been the most successful by far).

If Jontay is able to succeed and become a consistent starter, he will be in the top 10 to 15% of this peer group. I'm not taking in to account international players because I don't want to look up their ages.
