Bagley’s grandfather ‘Jumpin’ Joe’ was also drafted No. 2. Why his career had a sour end

Marvin Bagley III isn't the first of his family to get picked in the NBA draft.

Shoot, he may not even be the best athlete at the dinner table during family holiday settings, which is saying something.

Bagley, all arms, legs, length and upside, went No. 2 overall to the Kings on Thursday afternoon, joining his grandfather, who a generation earlier received the same honor.

Joe Caldwell was selected second in the 1964 draft out of Arizona State, the 6-foot-5 guard/forward going to the Detroit Pistons.
