Washington Wizards Almost Drafted Klay Thompson, Settled For Jan Vesely

Last night I wrote about Ernie Grunfeld‘s fascination with international players. It was reported that Nikola Radicevic is going to work out for the Washington Wizards before this month’s NBA Draft.

Grunfeld’s biggest failure was perhaps his decision to pick Jan Vesely sixth overall in 2011.

Vesely came into the league with virtually no skill-set and he was destined to become a bust.
