wouldn't be hard to win most improved considering how bad he was, Gheorge Muresan was wack he had no co-ordination, half the players you highlighted weren't steals.
Gilbert Arenas, Rashard Lewis, Michael Redd, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Boozer are steals...
Gheorge Muresan... is NOT.

Are you dumb? Look at the majority of 2nd rounders. Most of them don't even make it to play in the NBA. Anyone with so much as a decent career who came out the second round is considered a steal. Gheorge Muresan was DEFINITELY a steal, he was at one point a major asset to his team, and a dominant force on the inside. 15 point and 10 rebounds a game is no joke...To get that from a second rounder is GREAT.

As for my vote, it went to Arenas...Ginobli is good and all, but Arenas just carries his team, and I actually think Ginobli has already peaked while Arenas will excel...Career wise, it's definitely Van Exel as of now, but Arenas is just the best overall player to come out the 2nd round...PeACe

plus, Manu is a Spur...
Naw, but its hard to really pick. U got players like the ones u just mentioned who are great, but others on the list who were a little less then great, but did it for a whole career. Who knows how these younger guys will be seen by the end of their career.
