That was before several serious injuries including a head injury where he never played the same away again
He was fearless and actually helped the Bobcats win games when he was on the floor before his string of bad luck

Take a look at the 2012 draft class and if you don't consider him a miss at #2 then I don't know what to say. I know that hindsight is 2020 misses like that keeps a franchise down for years.
But with that said, other than Davis, Beal, and Lillard the draft class is horrible

LOL..take a look at Fab Melo and Royce White.

I can’t speak for Fab Melo, but I remember getting behind Royce White due to his struggles with anxiety.
Unfortunately, he could not get a hold on it while developing as a player. It would of been an inspiration to all of us with anxiety if he was able to champion his condition while playing at a high level.
I hope he’s found some level of peace in life.
