There was a bit of confusion in the RJ Hampton household on draft night.
On Wednesday night Hampton, who slipped deep into the first round after once being projected to be a lottery pick, was initially drafted by the Bucks but was apparently traded to the Denver Nuggets.

Hampton was announced by NBA commissioner Adam Silver as the Bucks’ draft pick and the family couldn’t agree about which hat Hampton should wear which led to an awkward live TV moment.
