#2 Jordan Clarkson
Jordan Clarkson spent three years playing college basketball, splitting his time between Tulsa and Missouri. Nevertheless, Clarkson was not heavily recruited out of college, and in the 2014 NBA draft, Clarkson was selected by the Washington Wizards with the 46th overall pick.
The guard was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, and after three and a half successful years with the team, Clarkson was surprisingly traded to the Cavs.

The deal also took Larry Nance Jr. to the team, and while Clarkson struggled for minutes in his first season with the team, he has transformed into the Cavs' best player this season.
Clarkson is currently averaging 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, although the Cavs have yet to start the 26-year-old. Ultimately, if the Cavs continue to refuse to give more minutes to their best player, it makes sense to trade Clarkson, as his value is currently at an all-time high.
