NBA: 10 Most Valued Current 2nd Round Picks

#8 Manu Ginobili

Manu's craftiness is one of Pop's best crunchtime weapons

Picked 57th in 1999 by the San Antonio Spurs

The wizard from Argentina officially holds the title of the oldest second-round pick currently active in the NBA. One would assume that title gives you the privilege to sit back and dole out words of wisdom to younger teammates while they slug it out nightly on the hardwood. That lifestyle is not for Manu though!

With Kawhi Leonard out and Tony Parker returning diminished from injury, Ginobili has been proving that elder statesman is a role he can thrive in. His point and assist totals might be down from his career averages, but his leadership and awareness on court ensure that the Spurs remain a paragon of consistency. Although coach Popovich need not depend so heavily on his oldest player once his star is ready to return, you can be sure that Manu will open his bag of jaw-dropping tricks come playoff time.
