To tank in 4 years to grab the Mormon with the #1 after he gets his degree at duke. Especially with 4 All-stars on our team. Burks, favors, Hayward, and kanter that is.
Has a LDS player ever been drafted #1 in NBA?

Shawn Bradley was selected 2nd overall in 1993.I was serious.
What's the highest a LDS player has ever been drafted?
That's ok, he had a very forgettable career.Thanks
Forgot about good old Shawn
Actually, I have to confess I had really high hopes for this thread based on the title.Um, ok^
What's the deal with LDS players and missions, anyway? I don't recall Ainge doing it at any point during his NBA or college career. Or Chambers. Or Jimmer. Actually, I don't recall any other LDS player but Bradley taking time off to go on a mission.
Aren't they mandatory?
Nor did Donny Osmond back in the day. Actually I should commend Bradley for going on a mission. Every young man is encouraged/expected to go on a mission, but it still comes down to individual choice. And it could be argued that when an LDS male is in the spotlight as much as an Ainge, Bradley, Steve Young, or Jimmer, etc., the visibility they give the LDS Church is far greater if they stay in that spotlight than if they go to some 3rd world country like Moscow, Idaho. Fame is fleeting. And being out of sports or music for 2 years might just mean an end to relevancy..What's the deal with LDS players and missions, anyway?
