For the next couple of weeks, NBA teams will hold draft workouts for prospects to help decide whether they are a good fit for their organization. As it relates to recent history, every team is trying to find the Draymond Green of the NBA Draft.

Green was the 35th overall pick of the draft in 2012 and has flourished into a superstar and is often regarded as one of the most versatile players in the league.

Throughout history, there have been plenty of second-round picks that have developed into superstars including Dennis Rodman, Manu Ginobili, and Willis Reed just to name a few.

That all being said, the majority of second-round picks tend to have very short stints in the NBA and in some cases, never even step foot on the court for their respective team.
