best player that was drafted the lowest

name some players and the best player who was drafted reallllyyyyy realllly low but turned out to be good players. players like manu ginobli who i think got drafted second to last at 59 i think.

 

Redd at #49 (2000)
Boozer at #35 (2002)

I guess there must be quite a few. Quite a lot of second round picks have better performance by first round picks.

 

ginobili. picked almost last and has developed more than the bobcats.

 

Gilbert Arenas. 31st pick over all in the '01 draft.

 

cuttino mobley picked 42nd overall

 

Jeff Hornacek - 2nd round, 46th overall. On top of being picked that late, he wasn't even selected the first time he entered the draft. He had to wait another year and tried again, to be drafted by the Sixers. We all know what he went on to do after that in his career.

 

Arenas & Redd first come to mind

 

Redd, Arenas, and Boozer....

A future one will be Bonner

 

Arenas, Redd & Boozer, pretty simple.

 

Add Ginobili to the list.

 

Mike Redd. Drafted mid-second round, has since turned into a start out in Milwaukee.

 

Mobely, Rashard, Arenas, RJ, Michael redd, Carlos Boozer all taken in the second round. All have averaged over 15 points this season, and have earned some what star status. Carlos Boozer was nearly a all star last year as was Arenas. RJ will be a all star soon, has been a olympian, and is NJ's number one scoring option, Mobely has been named to the NBA's most under rated players team earlier before this season started, and Redd was a all star last year, and Rashards team is 20-5.

if i remember corectly then RJ was taken in the first round 13th overall

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting elijahser:</div><div class="quote_post">if i remember corectly then RJ was taken in the first round 13th overall</div>Yeah your right my mistake still pretty low for a player of his caliber though. Draft rights traded from Houston bet they wish they had him back.

 

I'll go with Ben Wallace who went Undrafted, and Michael Jordan at third pick overall.

 

ben wallance, brad miller, darel armstrong, they weren't even picked in the draft...lol

 

nick van exel was picked in the 2nd round too. but forgot which spot he got picked.

 

Rashard Lewis, Mike Redd, Gilbert Arenas, and Manu are the ones that pop into my head.

Add UDONIS HASLEM to your list.
He might not be as well known but he's a baller.

 

Jordan was picked at 3 with the rockets and blazers missing out BIG TIME there. Spud Webb was 87th overall pick in the 4th round!!!! KG was 5th, Kobe was 13th and got traded to LA for Vlade Divak! Larry bird was the 6th pick. McGrady was 9th.
