Fans mainy only know Caris LeVert as the-man-we-traded-Thaddeus-Young-for. It is hard to trade a respectable power forward for an unproven rookie, but LeVert could end up being worth the risk. LeVert spent four seasons at the University of Michigan. During his four seasons, he showed the ability to shoot and pass the ball. The problem is he has a very narrow frame and does not like contact. Another issue that kept LeVert from being a lottery pick is his health. He has had three left foot injuries in his career so far. If he is able to stay healthy, he could develop into an offensive threat in the NBA.
