I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Gary Payton didn't come into his own until his third season. Trade talks were swirling, about Gary Payton (9 ppg), for Derek Harper (a young 31). I also thought Dennis Scott and Lionel Simmons were better players. I was PUMPED when we traded for Kendall Gill in the summer of 1993, because in one of the MANY pre-season NBA magazines I used to buy back then, Gill was said to be a "budding Michael Jordan."
I remember when Chris Jackson was all the rage. I think there might’ve been sports illustrated cover with him on it and he might have been there with Shaq. College basketball was on another level in those days.
Not a great draft class but not a bad one. The top 5 were pretty solid the rest of the 1st round was filled with a bunch of busts and some solid role players. Tony Kukoc, Cedric Ceballos and Antonio Davis were 2nd round steals.
You might be interested to know about Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf: In RECENT years, ESPN did a feature on Abdul-Rauf. They made it a point to reveal to us, that his mother was an African-American nurse, and that his biological father is a Caucasian man.

Ugh suns fan from mesa az soooo close but as usual arizona chokes in finals ugh..... good future though finally a awesome coach in monty juss need size.... giannis will probably be back dude a animal 🤣🤣 ugghhh
"He will play some defence"
What an understatement.

please add all full drafts ... love this shit
No love for Derrick Coleman
I don't see why not. He was one hell of a Power Forward. He just got caught up not having a veteran break him in.
EXACTLY
I pulled this up for D.C.
Makes me think when I was 10 yr old now I'm 37 time flies

Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul Rauf
where is derrick coleman?
Felton Spencer looks like Tom Selleck
Vaught was actually the better of the two Clipper picks.
Compare the speaking ability of this draft class to the draft class of 2022 and tell me kids haven't gotten dumber.
rebroadcast? thought this the original
My guy kukoc was drafted 29th
He doesn't come play until 94
Oh no. Snapper asking Chris Jackson why he shook his head twice…not knowing Chris suffers from Tourette’s…surely an honest mistake.
