Going back to 2006, check out some of the 2nd round picks.

Paul Millsap, Leon Powe, Carl Landry, Glen Davis, Josh McRoberts, Marc Gasol, Aaron Gray, Ramon Sessions, Mario Chalmers, DeAndre Jordan, Omer Asik, Bill Walker, Sam Young, DeJuan Blair, Jodi Meeks, Marcus Thornton, Chase Budinger, AJ Price, Patrick Mills.

There's definitely a lot of talent, especially at #39. The trend seems to say that the big guys fall are the ones that pan out. You can't learn size.

Just thought some of you might like to see this.

Nice list, but it also highlights that the 19 names you listed, were 19 out of 150 players drafted in the 2nd round of that time frame. Which means 87% of the 2nd round picks don't pan out, or make a meaningful impact in their respective teams lineup during their first 5 seasons.

It also means, we are due :)

Yes. They have completed a list of 60 draft eligible candidates. There will be a human with a heartbeart that, presumably, has seen a basketball that we can draft. For that, we are thankful.
