    probably. He came out of high school. So he had extra time over Redd or Areanas to make a few bucks.

    Ben Wallace was undrafted and he's got a 4 year $60 million deal with the Bulls.

    Yes. He is. Well, assuming we're talking strictly the money he has made via basketball. I have no idea how well he's done with his money outside of basketball, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear somebody else has made as much money or more than him in business ventures. Hell, Magic Johnson is no second rounder, but they didn't get paid anywhere near what players get paid now back when he played - still he's now worth over half a billion dollars.

    I think the OP meant richest as in the largest contract for a 2nd round pick.
