Likewise, he was selected 41st overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. For a couple of years, he played for Europe, and later, he joined NBA. Despite getting a second pick, he could be among one of the best centers currently playing in the league and is the perfect example of a modern NBA center. His game skills, combined with his all-around scoring, have made him a dangerous offense for opponents.
Even if they are double-teaming him, his game presence allows him to pass the ball to an open player for an easy basket. He is also a holder of MVP, and since Shaquille O Neal, he has been the first one to win this award since 2000. This achievement shows that he is the only player to win this award after a second-round pick, and he is the lowest pick to get an MVP among the other draft players.
