The NBA draft is just like any type of betting. The outcome depends on the human factor and luck - which makes the job of a general manager extremely hard at times. Even the most celebrated college players can turn into busts, and sometimes the rawest prospects develop into All-Stars and MVPs.

    At this point, Jokic is the greatest Draft Steal of all time. A second round Draft pick who is a back to back MVP, the best center in the game and has a good chance of bringing the first championship to Denver.

    Well, one thing we need to remember is that foreign players normally have contracts with other leagues in other countries, and since those players don't make as much money as one would in NBA, they can't afford to buy out their own contracts, and NBA teams normally (or rarely) pay that buyout for them, so those NBA teams that picked foreign players, they are RISKING it big time. For instance, Ginobili entered the 1999 NBA draft, but at that time, his contract still had 3 years left, so the earliest time he could make it to NBA was in the year 2002. Can you imagine drafting a foreign player who may or may not be physically suited to play in the NBA and can't even make it to the NBA in a few years? That's almost like wasting a draft pick.

    Mostly limiting this list to the two-round era (Iceman excepted) really compresses it. People (especially in Phoenix) remember the 1969 draft and the coin flip for #1, but the 2nd or third best player in that draft went way later in the fourth round (also to Milwaukee as it turned out). HOFer Bob Dandridge. A list like this limited to third round or later picks would be interesting.

    As much as I rooted against Kobe he was quite frankly a legendary player by all accounts, why I don't think he belongs in this list though is because it wasn't that anybody whiffed and missed by not picking him, he was picked where he was because everyone was afraid to draft him due to him saying he would only play for the Lakers, more or less. It's also why I don't consider him being traded one of the worst trades of all time, the Hornets drafted him with the expectation to get a veteran player from the Lakers instead of letting the Lakers have a free and clear Kobe Bryant when they came up to pick their draft pick.

    Well that was part of it but the only other team that had real interest was New Jersey because no team was really looking for a SG that high in the draft. Calipari and the Nets were gonna take him at number 8 or 9, I forget exactly what number they had since he worked out for them and he's from the Philly area so he did also wanna play for the Knicks. But when Jerry West called he told Kobe to tell the Nets he won't play for them so they didn't draft him and took Kerry Kittles instead since they needed a SG.

    I believe he was drafted exactly where he should've been. No one was talking about him he was a skinny high school kid and taking kids out of high school wasn't considered a good idea. A total of 5 players were picked out of high school between 62 and 96 that's a span of 34 years ! If Kevin Garnett hadn't been drafted a year earlier the Lakers probably could've grabbed Kobe in Rd 2. You gotta remember a *total of 5 players* had been drafted out of high school *before* Kobe was drafted. Damm near everybody believed drafting high schoolers was a huge mistake that would stunt a players development. Looking at the list though I'd have to disagree ! Moses Malone , Garnett, Kobe, Jermaine O'Neil, Tracy McGrady, Rashard Lewis, Eddy Curry, Amari Stoudemire, *LeBron James* , Dwight Howard etc a total of 44 and at least 7 are hall of fame worthy. I'm from Philly and am still here I actually remember talking to my friends parents about them drafting Allen Iverson and my buddies parents are *hard core* Philly fans so even his mom knew more about the local teams than I did. I remember her telling me about Kobe and Kobes dad and her looking at her husband and saying "Mike wouldn't it be nice if we got both of em?" lol one of them things that's stuck in your head for no apparent reason. I also remember a Kobe interview where he said growing up he dreamed of being drafted by the Sixers. You seem to know more about Kobe than I do as I was a Philly fan so I never paid much attention to Kobe as he wasn't "one of us" anymore ! But damn Kobe + A.I + Motumbo would've been something to see !

    Larry Bird. Because he missed a year transferring from Indiana to Indiana State (it was more complicated than that), Bird was eligible for the draft after his junior season. (At Indiana State, where he averaged 30 pts but was still relatively unknown). Red Auerbach, with the 6th pick in the draft (and a dismal Celtics team), selected Bird even though Larry had already announced he was going back to the Sycamores for his senior season. Of course, he had a spectacular season, taking the team all the way to the NCAA finals, where Magic and Michigan State ended their undefeated season. Well, Auerbach was looking pretty smart, having already drafted Bird. But....Red had to sign Larry before the next NBA draft or Bird would go back into the draft and the Celtic's pick would have gone wasted. But Larry ended up signing the largest rookie contract in the history of SPORTS and the rest is both legend and history. Red took this chance even though 5 other teams passed on Bird (for the risks described above). Larry Legend, indeed.

Unless you know some guys over 7ft tall that can drain 3's at near 40% while simultaneously being the most dominant scorer in the paint since Shaq while simultaneously going top 3 in rebounds while simultaneously throwing his name in the hat for DPOY ? lol of course you don't ! And don't get it twisted if he wasn't carrying the offense on his back he could *take* that DPOY award *every season* and Giannis is the only other player who could also make that claim (great on BOTH sides of the ball) on top of that he's been leading the league in double+triple teams 3 years straight ! He has to fight harder than *anyone in basketball* for every shot. And that alone shows you how much opposing teams respect him when he has the ball in his hands ! Not to mention he didn't start playing basketball until 2014 !!! He's been playing for a total of *EIGHT FREAKING YEARS* !! let that sink in ...

    Rodman played for Southeastern Oklahoma State University, a four-year NAIA school. Rodman was a three-time NAIA All-American and led the NAIA in rebounding twice (1985, 1986). In three seasons there (1983-1986), he averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds, and registered a .637 field goal percentage. In 1986 he led his team to the NAIA semifinals where he scored 46 points in a single game, while grabbing a tournament-tying record 32 rebounds. So, he was not simply a juco product.

I remember watching him in high school.

Sam Bowie i think get severe injury that ended his career, dont actualy know what could he done if he have a full healthy career. But no mater that MJ is until today the best player ever arguably.

But even if he dropped to 8th that is a steal since he turned out to be an all time great.

    1986 had the most steals. Arvydis Sabonis last pick of the first round, the second round of the draft was better than the first. Rodman, Mark Price, Jeff Hornacek, Nate McMillen, David Wingate, Johnny Newman, Kevin Duckworth. The first round was cursed by drugs and injuries (Len Bias, Chris Washburn, William Bedford, Roy Tarpley, Ron Harper, Johnny Dawkins).

    Jimmy Butler is killing it with the Heat this season and the Heat could win it all this season, The Greek Freak won a NBA title last season, The Joker is the best player in the NBA right now, The Worm is the best rebounder of all time, Marc Gasol won a title with the Raptor, Iceman is a NBA legend, Tony Parker one of the best Euro players ever in the NBA and won titles with the Spurs, Kobe is one of the best players ever to play in the NBA also won titles and last Ginobili who is the best South American to play in the NBA also an NBA hall of famer and won NBA titles

    Imagine Jokic, an MVP, got skipped in the draft because of a Tac Bell commercial. Definitely the best steal of the draft. 1st 2nd round pick to be an MVP. He's just an NBA Championship away to be a lock in Hall of Fame.

    How crazy is it that the Gasol brothers were traded for each other and both teams won the trade.
