So, Caleb Swanigan is now a Portland Trail Blazer. Congratulations.
Sincerely. You’re going to love him. Caleb had a storied sophomore season. By storied I mean he collected rebounds and stats in combinations that were only surpassed by a couple #1 draft picks. (I’m talking about Tim Duncan and Blake Griffin #1 picks.)
Despite being a top-15 recruit, he didn’t get to these numbers by just being a better athlete or more talented than everyone on the court. Instead, Caleb worked his ass off, making himself one of the best five college basketball players in the country after a freshman campaign that was often times disappointing.
