He underachieved in his NBA career due to him being a high draft pick. I think he's in the Big 3 League now but here's a flashback

The Stromile Swift / Jabari Smith years were the most fun I’ve had going to LSU basketball games.

No. He was lazy and had no competitive drive. He did okay, but he didn't try to develop an offensive game.

Mmmhmmm.... looks like he was pretty successfully financially.... and If im not mistaken, was not a highly recruited kid out of high school LSU was lucky to have him. He sure was fun to watch.... most incredible to watch how quick he got off the ground to block shots. One of the best ever to do that at LSU.

Stromile Swift was an elite prospect out of high school.
