Robert Swift
Robert Swift was the No. 12 overall pick out of high school. Seattle SuperSonics clearly expected him to be an elite player, although he did not make much of an impact during his four years in the NBA. There were a bunch of personal issues like drug use and jail time that plagued his life. It was a good thing that he decided to clean up his act. He signed a deal with a Spanish basketball team in 2018. After debuting, he went on to be a fan favorite. He is currently engaged. We are glad that things improved for him!
