Michael Kidd Gilchrist, the second overall pick of the 2012 NBA draft, has had a bumpy career so far. A player drafted that high is expected to become an all star or franchise player, and Charlotte fans had high hopes, despite losing out on the chance to draft Anthony Davis, that Kidd-Gilchrist would work out.
Kidd-Gilchrist is not a star or a franchise player, but that doesn’t make him a bust, either; as he has proven to be an elite defender and a great rebounder for his position. Offense is where he struggles, particularly shooting the ball.
