Coming out of college everyone thought he was unathletic and that would hurt him on the NBA level. And his team sucked.
But to be fair, he was still drafted #11. Kyrie, Derrick Williams, Brandon Knight and Kemba were all stars for big-name teams. Enes Kanter, Jonas Valančiūnas, Jan Vesely, and
Bismack Biyombo were all 7-footers with skills or athleticism. So I can see why they were picked high even if some of them were complete flops.
But the Cavs getting Tristan Thompson at #4 and the Bucks grabbing JImmer just ahead of Klay at #10 were the big dummies.
