biggest draft steals

[riseagainst]

Most people will probably say MJ, but he was still drafted top 3.

So let's say, biggest draft steals outside of a top 3 pick.

Ginobili #57

Kobe, Manu, Rodman, Drazen, Hornacek, Boozer, Millsap, Redd, M.Gasol.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

2nd round - Ginobli.
1st round - Kobe. The Nets are probably still kicking themselves for passing up on him.

[GODbe]

13th overall pick
1996 draft

Who would've thought that pick would go on to become the GOAT in such a short period of time? Nobody expected Kobe to be that good except me.

To think that the GOAT was selected 3rd in his draft class is kinda crazy.

Manu at #57
Isaiah Thomas at #60

Kobe obviously is a front runner, but how about Dirk? Gets drafted 9th and gets traded for Robert "Tractor" Traylor. How many people get hall of fame players and top 20 talents on draft day for such an incredibly low price?

In recent Cavs history...

Carlos Boozer was a pretty good pick at 35.

Danny Green was picked 46th overall.

Ben Wallace wasn't drafted. Become an all-star, DPOY and champion. Ginobili out of players who were drafted

[HylianNightmare]

Ben Wallace

[MP.Trey]

Ben Wallace can't be a draft steal if he didn't get drafted. He's just the greatest player to go undrafted.

Probably. Bruce Bowen and John Starks are also on that list.

How about Agent Zero and Monta Ellis

60th Pick Isiah Thomas
15th Pick Kawhi Leonard
40th Pick Lance Stephenson

Damn, there's been a lot of great steals. Here are some of the guys who I think are the biggest steals ever...

Manu Ginobili - One of the last picks of the 2002 draft. He came off the bench for the Spurs and showed that he could do everything (scoring, passing, defense, etc). Every year, Manu has been productive. Along the way, he's earned a couple of awards and championships. Gino is one of the reason why the SA Spurs have had so much success in the playoffs. He's actually one of my favorite players ever.

Dennis Rodman - The Worm! Not an offensive player, but that didn't really matter since he was spectacular at everything else. IMO, the most skilled rebounder ever and easily one of the best all-around defenders the game has ever seen.

Michael Redd - This guy was so fun too watch. His left-handed jumpshot was really smooth. Redd averaged 20+ ppg for 6 straight seasons and was named an all-star once, in 2004. IMO, he should've been selected more than once. If I remember correctly, he's had one of the highest win shares since 2000. Top 5, I think (?). When Redd was at his best, he was real good. Sadly, towards the end of his career, he didn't get a chance to play a lot of games because of injuries.

Monta Ellis - Very good scorer. Oh and don't forget... Monta have it all.

Chandler Parsons, Carlos Boozer, Millsap and Marc Gasol were are great steals.

[DonDadda59]

The Spurs excluding Timmy.

Parker- 28th pick (last of the first round)
Ginobli- 57th pick (2nd to last overall)
Leonard- 15th pick

Even Splitter was, like Parker, the last pick of the first round.

[Hey Yo]

2nd round - Ginobli.
1st round - Kobe. The Nets are probably still kicking themselves for passing up on him.
Kiciking themselves for passing on a guy who said he would not sign or play for them?
