At one point, Emmanuel Mudiay was projected to be the top draft pick from the 2015 lottery. Now, he’s the rookie that no one is talking about because of his struggle to adjust to the NBA.
Mudiay was a McDonald’s All-American at Prime Prep Academy in Dallas and on his way to being coached by legendary point guard guru Larry Brown at Southern Methodist University. Under Brown’s tutelage, he would solidify his reputation as the top guard in 2015.
