Former Denver Nuggets NBA draft bust, Julius Hodge, said on twitter yesterday that he purposefully tanked his pre-draft workout with the Denver Nuggets because he wanted to avoid playing for George Karl.
I remember purposefully sabotaging my Denver Nuggets pre-draft workout because I did not want to play for Karl. Had worst workout of my life

Unfortunately for Hodge (and for the Nuggets) his scheme did not work. Denver selected Hodge with the 20th pick in the 2005 NBA draft.
