One of the best 6th men in the league retires today after 16 seasons in the NBA.
Always enjoyed his play, dude could flat out ball, and had an incredible IQ.

His box score stats vastly underrate him. An easy HOFer, although he'd probably be out if it was just NBA career.
Pretty crazy that James Harden was once 6th man of the year and 6 years later he's the league MVP.
Best 57th pick in NBA history I would imagine. Also is he the best 2nd round pick ever?
Interesting question. Had to google it. Alex English and Willis Reed are both HOF'ers that were 2nd round picks. Also, Dennis Rodman was a 2nd round pick.
schooner mentioned some of the all-time greats. But there are a lots of studs in the NBA today that were 2nd round picks... Goran Dragic, Nikola Jokic, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap, Draymond Green, Isaiah Thomas, Marc Gasol, and Hassan Whiteside are a few of the notable ones. Not sure where I'd place Manu, but he was a main cog for 4 championship runs by the Spurs. Gotta think he's somewhere in the top 5 of all-time.
I think it'd probably be better to compare ranges, like 31-60, when referencing late-picks. Willis Reed was a 2nd round pick, but the guy was the 8th overall pick in the draft. Hardly the same thing as Manu going 57th...
