    Allen Leavell went 104th overall, in the 5th round.

    Charles Jones, brother of Bobby and Caldwell, and owner of 2 Houston Rockets world championship rings went 165th the same year.

    c'mon guys, Ben Wallace and Chuck Hayes have nothing over Manu (even though I meant to ask for the drafted). I was going to say Mario Elie, but that was before the 2 rounds. Manu could have been a Finals MVP in that season before Parker won it.

    going with the "M's" - Manu & Monta! Manu got him some rings and makes it happen (when healthy); and Monta creates like a beast! And both drafted low!

    OP wanted lowest and most famous. Undrafted would be lower than 57. But OP thinks Manu>Wallace.

    So, amount of fame can override how low you're drafted. So, in this case I'll go with Kobe Bryan at #13.

    Your point? He couldn't score, pass, or do anything else besides blocking shots and rebounding. He's one of the most over-rated players.

    Good point. Kobe would definitely be most famous according to my post. I say Manu is second.

    Not more famous than Manu. I meant by famous, it has to do with accomplishments too. Oh well, you get the point. Manu > Wallace.
