19. Clifford Robinson, 1989 NBA Draft, 36th overall, Portland Trail Blazers

Robinson is considered one of the best second-round picks in the history of the NBA draft. Through his 18-year career, he played with the Trail Blazers, Suns, Pistons, Warriors, and Nets.

In 1993, Robinson won the Sixth Man of the Year award and in the following season was voted to the All-Star team. In 2000 and 2002, Robinson made the All-Defensive Second Team. No team, not even the Blazers would have thought Robinson would have the long and successful career that he did, but they reaped the benefits.

Robinson’s career averages are 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.
