I'd say Emanuel is more so than Tony since at least Tony was a first rounder. Ginobili was extremely lucky he was selected so late on the right team that could use him in a proper manner. Any other team would have likely seen him as a throw away player back in the day.

Marc Gasol (48th, '07)? Nick Van Exel (37th, '93)? Sam Cassel (24th, '93)? Latrell Sprewell (24th, '92)? Shawn Kemp (17th, '89)? Cliff Robinson (36th, '89)? Tim Hardaway (14th, '89)?

Gervin (40th pick!) or O'Neal? You have All-time greats on this list, like Malone, Stockton, Kobe, Nash, etc... MVPs, Automatic Hall of Famers, Top 10 in ALL-TIME NBA scoring, Top 10 in ALL-TIME NBA assists, etc. These guys are TRULY among the greatest players EVER to play the game and were completely dominant in their careers.

***** No, I'm saying Jermaine O'Neal, who averaged CAREER HIGHS of only 4.5 ppg and 3.4 RB per game in his first 4 years, after which Portland let him go, is not worth a 1st round pick in the year he was drafted. It's not worth spending a 1st round pick on a guy that isn't ready to play for 5-6 years and he's certainly not a steal. After Portland paid him to ride the pine 4 years, when he was old enough to finish college anyway, he was a find by the Pacers, where he resurrected his career. Not to mention, he couldn't stay healthy in Indiana. He missed a lot of games. In what was arguably his best season by per-game averages, he played only 44 out of a possible 82 games. Saying he was a draft day steal is a complete revision of history.

Michael Jordan wasn't a steal at #3. Everyone expected greatness from him. Hakeem Olajuwon has a top 15 GOAT resume and won two championships on a far less superior team. Sam Bowie had his career ruined by injuries AND the Blazers had two shooting guards already. Neither were GOAT but if you're a top 3 pick, you're not a steal.

All star in 1992 and blocked 4 Jordan shots in one game in April 1991. Tragically died in July 1993 from a heart abnormality.

What is forgotten in the Nowitski for Traylor trade was that the Bucks threw in a # 16 first rounder which the Mavs traded to Phoenix for - get this- Steve Nash. So the Mav's in essence got both Nash and Nowitski for Tractor Traylor. Probably and even worse trade than than when the Warriors traded Robert Parish and their # 3 pick who turned out to be Kevin McHale for the Celtics #1 who turned out to be Joe Barry Carrol.
