The NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player brought a national championship pedigree to the NBA when he was drafted 18th overall out of Florida, and his path has only gotten more interesting since. Dealt from Utah to Memphis at the deadline, Clayton became the rare first-round rookie to change teams midseason, adapting to a new system on the fly.
