And then there was one.
Prior to Wednesday's blockbuster deal involving the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs, both two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry and four-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan were the only members of the 2009 draft class still playing for the teams which originally selected them.
That's no longer the case with DeRozan now a member of the Spurs, though, leaving The Chef as the one player from the 2009 draft who's only played for their original team.
