Second round draft picks have never been highly regarded in the NBA and overlooked by most fans and media. However, whether it be past or present, there have been plenty of good to even great players who’ve been selected in the secound round of the NBA draft.
From NBA legends like Nate “Tiny” Archibald, Alex English, Willis Reed, Dennis Rodman and Calvin Murphy to current NBA stars like Marc Gasol, Draymond Green, Isaiah Thomas, Hassan Whiteside, Chandler Parsons, DeAndre Jordan and Paul Milsap, talent and value is clearly present in the draft’s latter portion. No other team has found talent late in the draft and utilized secound round draft picks better recently than the Denver Nuggets.
