6. Marc Gasol, 2007 NBA Draft, No. 48 overall, Los Angeles Lakers

Gasol was traded and began playing in the NBA in 2008 for the Memphis Grizzlies, where he currently plays. Although Gasol has only played in the NBA for six years, it is safe to say he will be one of the biggest steals in draft history.

The two-time All-Star was also named to All-NBA First Team this past season as he was one of the most dominating big men in the league. In 2013, he won Defensive Player of the Year, which supports the fact that he performs on both ends of the floor. When it comes to the center position, Gasol is also the best passer the NBA has to offer.

Thus far in his career, Gasol is averaging 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks.
