ANN ARBOR -- Caris LeVert's selection as the No. 20 overall pick in Thursday night's 2016 NBA draft caught most off-guard, including those analyzing the live action.
The consensus, though, was that LeVert was a lottery talent tainted only by injury concerns.
The Brooklyn Nets, though, via a selection by the Indiana Pacers, went with upside over injury concerns.
As Bobby Marks, an analyst for The Vertical and a former general manager for Brooklyn, noted, "The Nets had an advantage here."
It turns out that Dr. Martin O'Malley, the doctor who performed LeVert's foot surgery on March 22, is the Brooklyn Nets' team foot and ankle specialist.
