Here are the ones that got away and made your GM look like an idiot. I already did the biggest busts of all-time. Now its time for the ones who were overlooked and made every team that passed on them pay for it.

I think Manu Ginobili might be the biggest on the list. This year I think it could be Derrick Byars who people miss out on. Did anyone watch Vanderbilt play last year????

How about Sarunas at pick #127. I didn't realize the NBA draft went that deep back in the day.

Excellent list of talent. Stockton and Malone are by far the biggest steals on this list.

How about 11th pick Robert Horry. 7 championships. Although I'd asterisk the last one.

It's gotta be Kobe. if Charolette didn't trade him for Divac, They would still have the Hormets, not the Bobcats! And being a Buckeye fan still gotta add Michael Redd! Dude can just flat out shoot.

Actually The Hornets had no intention of keeping Kobe...he was drafted for the Lakers...as a deal had been worked out previous to the draft!!

That's what i was thinking too. What about "THE GLIDE" Drexler. I honestly think Robert Horry should be there too. Seven rings how many other players can say that. Not many at all.
