Well, Manu Ginobili was 2nd to last ever and I think that is pretty dang ridiculous that he could fall that low. Also, Josh Howard was the last pick in the first round a few years ago....I dont understand how the best player in the ACC would go last pick in the first round....It doesn't make any sense to me. As for Manu, I could understand that pro teams dont see foreign players enough to draft them, but in the 2nd round, I dont know why that many teams would pass him up....I could almost guarantee you that most of the teams had seen him play, they just would rather take a chance on an American than a foreigner...

Ben Wallace is by far the best undrafted player though. As for last overall picks, I'm not too sure of any big ones but Ballerman does make some good points.
Wil Blalock and Alex Acker were recently picked by the Pistons with the last pick. Wil Blalock is getting a lot of minutes.Quick Wikipedia research shows me that Chicago Bull Maceo Baston was a last pick.Nope nevermind. In 1994, current Clipper center Zeljko Rebraca was drafted with the last pick. He is the best player to be drafted as the last pick.In 1988, Steve Kerr was the last pick of the second round. Too bad there were three rounds.
Wow, never knew that about Steve Kerr. Even though that wasn't official, it's still pretty impressive. He proved everyone that didn't pick him wrong.
