NBA: Best 2nd Round Pick each year since 2010

#2 2011 - Isaiah Thomas

Cleveland Cavaliers Introduce Isaiah Thomas

Isaiah Thomas, the last pick (60th) of the 2011 NBA Draft. Who knew a player drafted at the last could perform like a 1st overall pick or even better! The Sacramento Kings again drafted a player in the second round who turned out to be an elite. He averaged 15.3 points per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, and 4.8 assists per game during his three-year career with the Kings.

Thomas was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2014 and then to the Boston Celtics in 2015. In the 2016-17 NBA season, Thomas came into the MVP conversations as he led the Celtics to the first seed in the East and eventually the Conference Finals. Right now, he is in the Cleveland Cavaliers' roster and is coming out of a hip injury.

The 5'8" Isaiah Thomas, in terms his physique, was very difficult to predict that he could become such a great player. He faced many critics in the initial years of his career as an NBA player but he came out to be the best 2nd round pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.
