I thought he was lottery when he was in college. He slipped to the 2nd round. Don’t remember where, but I thought it was mid second round too.

Michael Redd. 2nd round in the 2000 draft which wasn’t a very good draft.

True, Manu and Scola, two gems that the Spurs drafted. That’s what they do best. Good for us we got Scola. Bad for them.

He’s been a key factor to the Spurs three championships, and he’s also won an NBA Finals MVP award. Pretty good for a 28th draft pick who was a virtual unknown. Who knew France would be able to produce one of the top PG’s in the league.

He always seemed to play with a chip on his shoulder. I wish he didn’t wear his welcome out in as a Laker though, he had himself a solid career. Always got a kick with his “extended” free throw shooting LOL

I’m not saying these guys are the biggest sleepers, but here are my favorite players to have gone undrafted.
Ben Wallace – Went undrafted in 1996, but has appeared in 4 NBA All-Star games, been on the NBA All-Defensive Team six times, been named Defensive Player of the Year four times, and won a championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
Earl Boykins – Undrafted in 1998
Bruce Bowen – Went undrafted in 1993, but has three NBA Championships with the San Antonio Spurs and has been named to the NBA All-Defensive Team eight times. He also played in 500 consecutive games and has been runner up for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award three times.
Brad Miller – Undrafted in 1998
Udonis Haslem – Undrafted in 2002
Andrés Nocioni – Undrafted in 2004
