Isaiah Thomas is the Greatest Last Pick of All Time

[Smook A.]

This dude would've been a top 10 pick. He was 1 pick away from being undrafted. Today vs the Thunder he put up 38 pts. What is he? 5'9?? The dude is a beast! Special special player. They found a gem with that pick. Hes putting up 19 ppg and 6 apg... c'mon bro dont do 'em like that! I like this guy. Good dude, and a nice player.

BTW before you call me a homer, i am not a Kings fan. Im just giving respect to a player who was thought to be unsuccessful

That goes without saying.

Unless Ben counts.

Which Ben? Ben Wallace? Wasn't he undrafted

That was the whole point of asking if he counted as a last pick. Technically no, but still......

I need a reason to glorify him.

Ben is one of the greatest undrafted players, but since he wasnt the last pick then i guess it wouldnt count for him to be the best last pick ever

Manu only missed this by 1, but props to Isaiah for being #1

I am glad we have him

John Starks, Bruce Bowen, Haslem etc

John Starks, Bruce Bowen, Haslem etc

I don't think any really compare to what Ben did in his career, individually. Bruce and Haslem were key role players for their championship teams, though.

Ben had a better career and peak than all of them and it's not particularly close.

If we're goin by only 2 rounds, from the past 25 years or so than yes.

There used to be three plus rounds in the draft back in the days. Steve Kerr was the last pick in the 2nd round in 88. Gerald Wilkins last in the 2nd round in 85.

Mario Ellie was player 160 out of a 162 player draft selected. Basically a 7th round pick 3rd to last drafted.

Too bad he cant run a team for shit.
