In celebration of my 3,000 blog views, I will try to rank 3,000 of the best basketball players of all-time-just kidding. I don't even think that is feasible. Instead, let me tell you about my pick for the biggest steal in this year's NBA Draft. Rivals #1 ranked prospect 2 years ago (last year being #MainMan Austin Rivers), Josh Selby is one heck of a player. A 6'2 combo guard, he can blow by you for an emphatic dunk, finish strong with both hands, and he can shoot the lights out from downtown. One thing that probably hurt Selby's stock (He was projected a first round pick but slided all the way down to 49) is probably that he didn't play a lot of games for the Kansas Jayhawks. He missed a ton of games during the start of the season because of an NCAA probation. In Selby's first game, his was clearly out of shape, but that didn't stop him from dominating the game. Selby toyed with his opponents and even nailed the game-winning 3. That would only be Selby's high point in his stint with Kansas as he struggled with injuries after.
The Grizzlies took a chance with this player and I believe Selby will be a great asset to their team. He can add another dimension in their point guard rotation bringing in an athletic and score-first mentality. No offense to Mike Conley and Grievis Vasquez but its about time someone great runs the point for the Grizzlies.
