5 lesser known second round picks who made it big in the NBA 

Chicago Bulls v Boston Celtics
Isaiah Thomas was the 60th pick in the 2011 NBA draft.

#3 Goran Dragic (45th pick, 2008)

Brooklyn Nets v Miami Heat
Goran Dragic helped Slovenia win FIBA EuroBasket 2017 and was named MVP.

Goran Dragic is easily one of the most underrated players in the league. So it makes sense that a team like San Antonio Spurs selected him with the 45th overall pick in 2008. Dragic was named to the All-NBA third team in 2014 while playing for the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 20.3 points and 5.9 assists on 50.5% FG shooting and 40.8% from deep. He was also named the Most Improved Player in 2014.

Dragic's unique court vision, speed, and play-making ability establish him as one of the top point guards in the league. He has regularly stayed at the top of the league in fast-break points.

2017 was the best year of his career. In the NBA, he averaged around 20p-4r-6a starting for the Miami Heat and internationally, he helped Slovenia pull the biggest upset in recent years, winning the EuroBasket which earned him MVP honors.

Don't count him out just yet, the best is yet to come.
