2016 NBA Draft: Five second round steals who could serve as valuable role players

Posted Jun 6, 2016
Over the last five years, the NBA Draft's second round has become an invaluable resource for acquiring good players on long-term cheap contracts. One only has to look at 2011 for Isaiah Thomas and Chandler Parsons, 2012 for Draymond Green, 2013 for Allen Crabbe, 2014 for Nikola Jokic, and 2015 for Norman Powell. This season is going to be no different. (CBS Sports)
