http://www.bullz-eye.com/sports/features/2006/nba_best_second_round_picks.htm In the above link, it lists top 10 NBA 2nd-round draft picks. Question is, where will AB be on that list in the height of his career? I mean, I get it, this ranking is not a good ranking, but it's still a reference. Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, and Steve Francis are unlisted in that link. My vote goes for either 9 or 10.
And what does it mean at all? Zo was #2 behind Shaq, The Glove was #2 behind Coleman and Stevie was #2 behind Brand wtf? Second overall is not a second rounder, dude
#2 overall means you're a second rounder, unless you were drafted #26 then you are considered a second rounder also. I can't believe Jason Kidd and Kevin Durant aren't on the list of the best 2nd rounders in NBA history.
Tony Parker was drafted 28 overall. He is the third rounder cause it was 2001 NBA draft 2+0+0+1 = 3. It is that simple
