Stromile Swift was an incredibly athletic Power Forward to willed his LSU team to the Sweet 16. The only problem was he was a big man without any post moves. It was all over the scouting reports ahead of the draft but that didn’t stop the Grizzles from taking him with the number 2 pick in 2000.

As it turns out, if you don’t have any post moves in the NBA, it’s really difficult to score points. So, Swift didn’t. In 11 NBA seasons, he averaged 8.4 points per game. He didn’t contribute much on the defensive end either with career averages of 1.2 blocks per game and 4.6 rebounds per game.
A life-threatening car accident ruined this Dukie’s career. See who we’re talking about on the next slide.
