In a pretty stacked 2011 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns had the 13th overall pick and a chance to help strengthen the rebuilding process in the wake of Amar’e Stoudemire‘s departure the summer before. With that late lottery pick, general manager Lance Blanks selected Markieff Morris out of Kansas.
Two picks later, the Indiana Pacers selected Kawhi Leonard for the San Antonio Spurs, who were trading fan favorite George Hill in order to obtain a top-10-caliber pick who shouldn’t have even been on the board at that point.
