I remember giving this dude props in one of those draft threads for playing like a post playing beast should during one of those All-Star games earlier this year.....but I had no idea he was from here.

The dream seemed far-fetched for a 6'2", 360-pound eighth-grader who spent his nights in a Utah homeless shelter, where people shot heroin in the restrooms and left needles near the sink.
Still, 14-year-old Caleb Swanigan—"Biggie," he'd long been called—seemed determined when he announced to his brother, Carl, that he wanted to become a basketball player.
As a 6'9", 250-pound senior, Swanigan averaged 22.6 points and 13.7 rebounds to lead Homestead to its first state title in school history. Along with his McDonald's All-American and Mr. Indiana Basketball honors, Swanigan helped Team USA win FIBA World Championships in 2014 (U17) and 2015 (U19).
