Caleb Swanigan had arguably the toughest journey to the NBA. He grew up with an unstable home environment, and ended up attending 13 different schools before he turned 13 years old. Caleb Swanigan stayed in multiple homeless shelters as well, while moving to dozens of cities until he finally found his home.
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include trivia, player stories, rankings, conspiracies, mysteries, and 'What If' videos. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

@GunninRebel55 7 лет назад

Great post! I love this kid Swanigan. He's gonna have a remarkable career as a Blazer. He has everything you want in a PF: He shoots it well from everywhere on the court, he has great length, he rebounds at an elite level, he has an uncanny ability to pass it and find guys cutting to the rim, his motor is always in the highest gear, basketball IQ is extremely high, great work ethic and desire to win and become great. Caleb also has something that can't be quantified. He's gonna do it all for the Blazers. He will be the glue and the heart and soul of the team. Even the weakness they say he has (defense) will end up being something he excels at. I really love this pick. Dame, CJ, Harkless, Swanigan, Nurkic!! This starting 5 will be monstrous! Oh and Collins will be the next great PF/C in the NBA as well. A+ for the Blazers 2017 draft.

@shippoprecordings 4 года назад

Oh wow. This was an interesting watch, really gives some context to the player that Caleb currently is. I remember watching him enter the game for the Kings late last season in garbage time and he was ABYSMAL. Looked completely lost and out of shape, stutter stepping back and forth as if he forgot who he was supposed to guard. It was baaaaad. I wish him the best, but he hasn't touched the court in a while and doesn't look like an NBA player whatsoever.

I don't live very far at all from Homestead so people in this area kinda followed him and he actually initially committed to Michigan State and then uncommitted and signed with Purdue.
