Matt Barnes went 46th, Jason Kapono went 31st, Earl Watson went 39th, Ryan Hollins went 50th, Dan Gadzuric went 34th, Trevor Ariza went 43rd, and Darrick Martin went undrafted. When you consider how few 2nd-round picks actually make it past their first seasons that number is astonishing and a credit to (I hate to say it) Steve Lavin.
