The Biggest Steal in Each NBA Draft

[@armandr1613]

Jokic at 41st is probably the biggest steal. 2 time MVP.

[@JB_3622]

It would have been 3x if the MVP wasn't stolen from him this year.

[@SheWas18InDogYears]

Yeah, and most likely gonna be a champion soon. Joking DESERVED that 3rd MVP.

[@nenkoandreev8509]

​@@JB_3622 that just shows up what a trash these awards are. A man is great not BCS of his awards but of his contribution to the team he is playing in. Jokic was far ahead of Embiid and everyone knows that fact

[@DoremonUCR]

And 2022-2023 NBA Finals MVP and champ

[@NicoNico-79797]

No, Manu Ginobili with the 57 pick is the biggest steal of all time

[@JVMel0o]

Missed Jimmy Butler, pick 30th

[@srblond]

Came here to say that. Ruined the entire list. How you f up and not pick butler

[@chillguli1963]

Desmond Bane at 30 over Bey at 19 in the 2020 draft is too easy.

[@Lhawga]

I'd say Maxey is the biggest steal

[@Karma_01-m5k]

Maxey, bane, and reeves are the most recent draft steals in the modern nba today

[@sactownbeast9162]

Sorry, But Isaiah Thomas as the 60th pick in the draft to make as big a splash as a little man himself truly speaks volumes of his greatness. If it werent for injuries, he would be still be ballin, guaranteed👌 Nobody would ever expect anything from the last pick in the draft. Let alone one of the shortest players in NBA history🙏

[@Catto77]

That's what I was thinking as well

[@abe000torte]

Injuries suck, IT will be forever underrated

[@guillermogutierrezarmenta7107]

[@JaedenWilson-hr6ri]

In my opinion I think da reason IT was able to be dat great was the Celtics system for believing in him While Every other team just lost faith after his injury

[@Anthony-nd6vk]

Manu at 57th is god-level drafting

[@FixxxerZ7]

Or simply borderline idiotic for anyone responsible for the first 56 picks :P

[@williamgullett5911]

I still can’t get over how bad Ginobi was that he cost the Spurs the championship against the Heat when Allen hit that 3 pointer in the corner. Ginobli had 8 turnovers in game 6 and 4 turnovers in the last 3 minutes of game 7. I get it..Ginobli was a good player but I fully believe that was mostly because he could sit back and be the 4th best player with no pressure with the teammates and coach he had. I don’t see Ginobli being even another teams 2nd best or 3rd best and having the same accomplishments. And on a team that wasn’t a top team my opinion is Ginobli wouldn’t be thought of the same

[@sergioortegamoreno8305]

Manu, Marc Gasol, Parker, Jokic... no one used to trust on foreigners... before Luka and Wenbayamba or however.

[@Anthony-nd6vk]

@@williamgullett5911 you have no conception of what Manu gave on the floor for the Spurs every time he hit it. Integral part of every championship he was apart of.

[@williamgullett5911]

@@Anthony-nd6vk He was a role player and the 4th best player on that team. Ginobli would never been able to go anywhere else and be a 1 or a 2 top player on any top team. And I suggest you go look at the 2013 NBA finals where Allen hit that 3 pointer in the corner. The Spurs were up 3-2 in that series and Manu Ginobli cost them with 8...that's EIGHT turnovers in game 6 Ginobli was even worse in game 7. The Spurs were up with 2 minutes left and Ginobli had FOUR turnovers in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. He kept driving under the basket, jumping up in the air with nobody to pass it to and turned the ball over each time. Manu Ginobli may have helped them win somewhat(a team with that talent could have won without Ginobli) but Ginobli absolutely cost them a championship in 2013. And then throw in that hes lauded for being a foreign player from Argentina and you have a guy who gets a lot more credit than he deserves.

[@nicolasmerlo5598]

it hurts that nobody said anytung in the comments about Ginobilli with the 57 pick

[@hegcho]

I was about to say it, 3 time champion, part of the spurs dynasty.

[@CharlesChacon]

Has anyone as low as him ever been a first ballot hall-of-famer? Manu is definitely one of the greatest draft steals ever

[@infamousp5608]

Kobe at 13 is the biggest steal. Jokic needs to win rings before he can be a bigger steal than Kobe.

[@Chad_Jacobs_37]

Michael Jordan 3rd pick. What a steal.

[@brandonmeiners3084]

Imagine saying Jalen Duren was a bigger steal at 13 than Walker Kessler was at 22 or Jalen Williams at 12.

[@antoniosouza1978]

Imagine saying something about this draft. It's too early.

[@brandonmeiners3084]

@@antoniosouza1978 Umm this video literally said something about the 2022 draft, and based on what we know thus far, Kessler and Williams were far bigger steals than Duren.

[@vzhdnrx2773]

They arer expected to be good though, if you want to talk about a real steal Andrew Nembhard was the biggest steal considering his pick.

His mindset was so correct.Thanks to his father that protects him now from heaven and his mother Of course. LOVE GiANNIS❤Thank you so much to American people for your big big hug. Giannis is a gem.

[@groundbeef174]

Anything in the top 10 isn't really a steal😂

[@ericswart3786]

I was thinking the same thing. Only reason to use someone from the top ten would be because the rest were run of the mill players.

[@groundbeef174]

@@ericswart3786 you're right

[@ericcouch]

2018 Jalen Brunson was the 33rd pick. How is he not considered the biggest steal?

[@Karma_01-m5k]

if jalen brunson blossom into an all star this season which would most likely be then he is a draft steal and lost for the dallas mavericks

[@ericswart3786]

I see a lot of Jordan at 3. When I think of steal, I think of a player that far exceeded expectations. Though no one could have foreseen how great Jordan was going to be, there was still an expectation of greatness with the third overall pick. And there was debate of taking Jordan at 1.

[@jcpenny3606]

Yeah these people don't understand what a steal is. These people act like Houston and Portland lost out. Olajuwon at #1 was the right call. Dream's numbers and achievements are as good as anyone. Sure, Sam Bowie at #2 didn't pan out but it made sense, since Portland drafted Clyde Drexler the year before. Portland still made good use of Sam Bowie by flipping him for Buck Williams, who became a big part of Portland's title run, contributing to 3 division titles and 2 finals appearance. There's no shame in that.

[@jaykaynum5569]

Stop it. Jordan at #2 makes perfect sense. Trade Clyde just like Warriors traded Webber. They knew Sam was injured in college and they still gave him a shot at 2? They could've waited. No one else wanted him in that draft

[@ciattatoredelanoche3799]

Before the draft, ginobili played for a Bottom team of italiani league: he's the biggest steal.

[@lenirish]

There's always something in that 13th pick. It's supposed to be an unlucky number but a lot of stars are the 13th pick

[@OrionOodama]

It's been said Steph Curry and his family notified Minnesota he's not interested to play for them because he prefers to play where there are more sunshine than winter. Too bad for the T-Wolves, who had the 5th and 6th picks that time. And thankfully, Milwaukee kept Giannis. In a way, they redeemed themselves for trading away Dirk Nowitzki 15 years prior. Yet on second thought, they could have played together.

[@kelviskk]

1986 draft the biggest steal is Mark Price by far. He was the 25 pick, but unlike Rodman, he was a MVP candidate. Probably the most underrated player in the NBA history

[@jaykaynum5569]

Stop it with the Rodman disrespect. Price is long forgotten. He played in the Jordan era. He's gonna be forgotten

[@m.s.7960]

Nicola Jokic at 41, Manu Ginobili at 57 and Dennis Rodman 27 is my podium

[@hakimhayashi]

The 3 biggest steal for me : 3. Kyle Lowry (24th) 2. Ginobili (57th) 1. Jokić (41st) Kobe, Malone, Miller, KG, Giannis etc deals are also surprising but at least theses were at the first round

[@maceel313]

Marc Gasol >>>>Kyle Lowry

[@billycrystal6791]

I would argue that kyle Lowry isn't really a steal since he didn't really come into his own until his 5th season. Like Memphis didn't really benefit from drafting him.

[@ColdHoops]

Spida beat Russ, George and Melo in the first round in his rookie year. He's always going to be a legend for that

[@timcai9420]

If Kevin Garnett at 5 is considered a steal, MJ at 3 is a bigger steal...

[@jaykaynum5569]

Out of high school tho. He was good at 5. He definitely didn't have that Lebron hype train on his head

[@aristotlebuenaobra2333]

The biggest steal in draft is Robert Horry, pick 11 and won 7 rings/ 7 time NBA Champions

I think, Finley is a better selection for this than Garnet. Because if you choose Garnet you should put also Lilliard over Green.

[@dariog36th]

Butler at 30 is a bigger steal than Kawhi at 15.

[@jasperkirbyfabic7046]

Kevin Garnett (pick#5), Tracy McGrady(pick#9), Steph Curry(pick#7) and Paul George(10) are not considered steel of the draft because they are one of the top 10 picks in their respective draft meaning they were drafted lower than #11 which is due to high expectation on them

Other than Jokic, and Jordan it is hard to define players as a steal if you don’t know who was picked ahead of them.

You basically did everything perfect except for 2018. Jalen Brunson was the biggest steal because he was pick #33

1996 nba draft were full of top rookies, iverson, camby, abdulrahim, marbury, R allen, a. Walker, nash, j oneal Kobe were still 18years old, and at that time, Jerry West was the only GM who have faith this young kid will become one of the greatest player

[@SonnyK248]

Kobe was actually 17 when he got drafted. He was one of the youngest kids in his high school class. He was in a loaded draft class but yeah to get one of the best players ever at pick 13 is insane. Oh and West wasn’t the only man who had faith in him. He skipped college for a reason. He was the best player in Highschool basketball and very famous. Dude took Brandy to his highschool prom ffs. He had already been dubbed the next Mike before he got to the NBA. The reason he went so late was because once West said he wanted him he told anyone but LA that if they drafted him he would go play in Italy and they would waste their pick 🤷‍♂️ so West got his man.

Sorry, Garnet, McGrady & Curry aren't steals. Don't get me wrong, they're all amazing.
