2. Manu Ginobli # 57

1. Drazen Petrovich # 60 (alot of people dont remember him but he had a few amazing years toward the end of his career)

Update:

good one Roberti didnt know about Bill Lambeer.

speaking about him i think the Worm was a high draft pick as well...

Update 2:

    Nice Q, got a little bit more to pile on though:

    15-Cuttino Mobley #41-Good starter at SG for Rockets, Clippers.

    14-Michael Redd #43: Great shooter.

    13-Carlos Boozer #34: All-star player for Cavs/Jazz.

    12-Mark Price #25: Shot over 90% from the FT line for his career. The all-time Cavaliers Assist leader and was in steals too, till LeBron passed him this year.

    11-Nate Tiny Archibald #10 but that was a 2nd rounder then. Only player to lead the league in PPG and Assists in the same season.

    10-Tony Parker #28-Key PG to Spurs Championship run. And the Best French player EVER. For what thats worth.

    9-Jeff Hornacek #46-SG starter for the Jazz w/Stock,Malone.Hated him as a Rockets fan. Dang good player though.

    8-Manu Ginobli #57- Key SG on the Spurs title Run.

    7-Ben Wallace #Undrafted. Cant beat getting a repeat defensive player of the year for nothing.

    6-Drazen Petrovic #60-He was such a sweet shooter. Terrible the car crash took him from us early, he wouldve been the first International Superstar.

    5-Alex English #23: One of the NBA's all-time great scorers. And the greatest scorer of the 80's. Why? He avg over 20ppg every season from 1980 to 1989.

    4-Bill Laimbeer #65 - 2 time league leader in Rebs, the key "bad Boy" to the Pistons run.

    3-Maurice Cheeks #36: 3rd in steals #8 in assists all-time.

    2-Willis Reed- 2nd round pick. 10 year player. 1st player to make All-Star, Reg Season and Playoff MVP in the same year 1970.

    1-Stockton #16:All time NBA leader in Assists and Steals. Except for the Rockets, Bulls and 76ers (Hakeem, MJ and Sir Charles, the other 12 teams missed on that one in 84)

    but Drazen was in the third round of the 1986 draft..and gilbert arenas should replace tony parker as a steal
