In the NBA, Manu Ginóbili, a key contributor to four San Antonio Spurs championships in the 21st century and the centerpiece of Argentina's Olympic gold medal team in 2004, was the next-to-last pick in the 1999 NBA draft. Another notable draft steal is Isaiah Thomas, who was selected as the 60th and last pick in the 2011 NBA draft, but emerged as an All-Star in 2017 and led his team to the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference that same year. Draymond Green, who was selected as the 35th pick of the 2012 NBA draft, was a key contributor to the Golden State Warriors winning the 2015, 2017, and 2018 NBA Finals. Green also won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2017. Nikola Jokić who was selected as the 41st pick in 2014 NBA draft didn't play in the NBA until the 2015 offseason to develop his skills. In his second season, he quickly became a solid post playmaker, averaging about 16.7 ppg, 4.9 apg, and 9.8 rpg. He was also voted as an All-Star in 2019 and 2020. Marc Gasol is also another example as he was selected as the 48th pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2007 NBA draft, but was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in a package that sent his older brother Pau to the Lakers. Like his brother Pau, he became an elite rim protector who can pass, shoot, and score efficiently in the post. He was also the 2013 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and he helped the Toronto Raptors win their first championship in 2019.
