The Resume

    (February 23, 1996- )
    Born in Louisville, Kentucky
    Attended Ohio State University (2014-15)
    Drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2015 NBA Draft
    Guard for the Los Angeles Lakers
    Recorded a video of Lakers teammate Nick Young admitting to cheating on his fiancée, Iggy Azalea (March 30, 2016)

Why he might be annoying:

    He gave up his remaining three years of college eligibility to pursue an NBA career.
    He was described as being too immature by his coach, Byron Scott.
    He secretly recorded a private conversation between himself and Nick Young and uploaded it onto social media.
    He faced considerable scorn in the media from current and former NBA players for his actions; many stated that although Young admitted to infidelity, he violated a locker room code by uploading it for everyone to see.
    He became a pariah in the Lakers locker room after the scandal became public, with many being unsure if they were able to trust him as a teammate.
    His falling out with Young served as another lowlight for a dismal Lakers season, best known for being Kobe Bryant's final season.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He passed over a chance to play for established programs like North Carolina and Michigan State to attend Ohio State.
    He recorded eight three-pointers in a single game, which set a Lakers franchise record for a rookie (2016).
    He was close to Young, prior to word of the scandal becoming public.
    He had the support of Iggy Azalea for his decision of sharing the video of Young admitting to infidelity.
    He publicly owned up to his decision to record and share the video, and vowed to repair the trust with his teammates.
