There is always a player or two who slips through the cracks each year and ends up being a role player, an all-star or in Isaiah Thomas‘ case an MVP candidate after being overlooked and falling to a lucky team in the second round of the NBA Draft. This year will probably be no different. With how deep this draft is, the Charlotte Hornets could have a good opportunity to grab a talented player with the 41st overall pick.
There are a number of second round picks have become great NBA players including Paul Millsap, Marc Gasol, Khris Middleton, Jordan Clarkson, Lou Williams, Hassan Whiteside, DeAndre Jordan and Draymond Green to name a few.
