The 2011 NBA Draft was full of late steals like Kemba Walker (9), Klay Thompson (11), Kawhi Leonard (15), Nikola Vucevic (16), Tobias Harris (18), and Jimmy Butler (30). The Washington Wizards had the sixth pick in the draft that year and decided they’d “Czech out” a young player named Jan Vesely.

Only one thing Vesely ever did in the NBA was memorable, and it happened roughly 1.2 seconds after hearing his name called at the draft, when Vesely was caught on camera making out with his girlfriend to celebrate his selection.
That was more action than Vesely every got on the court, and he left the NBA after three years to return to Europe and plays in Turkey today.
