“Jumpin’” Joe Caldwell was the No. 2 overall draft pick by the Pistons in 1964, when he won a gold medal with the U.S. basketball team in the Tokyo Olympics.
He was an All-American at Arizona State and returned after his playing days to Tempe, where his grandson, Marvin Bagley III, played some high school ball before moving to Los Angeles and becoming such a big star that he was courted by Mike Krzyzewski and went to Duke.
