Klay Thompson Is So Glad the Bucks Didn't Draft Him in 2011: "I Thank God Every Day"
Back in 2011, the Bucks had the opportunity to select Klay Thompson in the NBA Draft. But they passed up on the chance to take him and, instead, went with Jimmer Fredette and traded him to the Kings. And as it turns out, Thompson is very, very, VERY glad that they did.
The Warriors sharpshooter—who was selected by Golden State with the No. 11 pick that year—made an appearance at a school in Oakland earlier today. During it, he spoke with reporters and revealed that he still gives thanks for Milwaukee passing on him:
