1992 draft

1992 Draft

1. Orlando:

Shaquille O'Neal (LSU)

2. Charlotte:

Alonzo Mourning (Georgetown)

3. Minnesota:

Christian Laettner (Duke)
After being named the 1992 National College Player of the Year (AP, USBWA, NABC), Laettner went with the original Dream Team to Barcelona as the only college player taken. In 1991 he was named the NCAA tournament MVP after winning his first of two NCAA title with the Blue Devils. He finished his college career as the all-time NCAA Tournament scoring leader. He had a good rookie season, not in the same category as Shaq, but still good enough to be named to the All-Rookie First Team. He is a hard worker, but often criticized for being aloof and derogatory towards coaching staff and teammates. After spending his first few years in Minnesota, breaking most of their all time individual records on the team, he was traded to Atlanta along with Sean Rooks on 2/22/96 for Andrew Lang and Spud Webb. Christian got his first taste of playoff action in 1996 with the Hawks, performing well on a team that did better than many expected. As a warmup for the 1997 playoffs, Laettner's revamped Hawks tore up the league, emerging as a dominant eastern force. At 6'11'' he is tall, but spindly at only 245. In 1997 he joined Shaq, 'Zo, Googs and Sprewell as All-Stars from this draft class. In fact, all 5 played in the game in 1997. In his debut all-star game, he scored seven points and an amazing eleven rebounds. His six year contract that he signed as a rookie expires in 1998. He signed a 3 year deal in 1999 for 18 million dollars, then was traded by the Hawks to the Pistons for Scott Pollard and a first round draft pick. In Detroit he rejoins Duke teammate Grant Hill. In the same offseason that Hill left Detroit, Laettner was traded to Dallas along with Terry Mills for Cedric Ceballos, John Wallace, Eric Murdock, and $3 million. On February 22, 2001, just before the trading deadline, Dallas traded Christian Laettner, Hubert Davis, Loy Vaught, Courtney Alexander, Etan Thomas, and $3 million to Washington for Juwan Howard, Obinna Ekezie, and Calvin Booth. On July 19, 2001 Washington re-signed Christian Laettner to a 4 year, $21 million contract. On August 24, 2004, Dallas traded Eduardo Najera, Christian Laettner, the draft rights to Luis Flores, the draft rights to Mladen Sekularac, a first round draft pick and cash to Golden State for Erick Dampier, Evan Eschmeyer, and the draft rights to Steve Logan. Miami signed Laettner to a one year minimum deal for the 2004-2005 season.

4. Dallas:

Jim Jackson (Ohio State)
Jim sat out all but 28 games of his rookie year in a contract dispute. He finally signed a six year contract worth 18 million dollars. In college he was a 1992 Unanimous First team All-American and Player of the Year (UPI). He is powerful at the two-guard at 6'6''and 220 pounds. Therefore, he can rebound and post-up as well as make the medium range jumper with accuracy. Jackson feuded with Jason Kidd, and Kidd ended up in Phoenix...then Mashburn was shipped to Miami, and finally Jackson himself was traded to NJ in a huge 9 player deal involving Chris Gatling, Jim Jackson, Eric Montross, George McCloud, and Sam Cassell to New Jersey for Shawn Bradley, Robert Pack, Khalid Reeves, and Ed O'Bannon. This looks pretty lopsided in favor of the Nets. They are really cleaning house in Dallas, dumping their 3 stars of the future, Jackson, Mashburn and Jason Kidd. It looks like the team is worse off for it too. He only stayed in the Garden State for a few months, being traded along with Eric Montros, Tim Thomas and Anthony Parker to the Philadelphia 76ers for Michael Cage, Lucious Harris, Don MacLean and Keith Van Horn on 6/27/97. Then, about 6 months later on February 17, 1998, Jackson was shipped off again, this time to Golden State, along with Clarence Weatherspoon, for Joe Smith and Brian Shaw. Portland signed him as a free agent in January of 1999 to a 3 year contract worth 6 million dollars. Portland traded him in the 1999 offseason along with J.R. Rider for Steve Smith. Steve signed with Sacramento and played 63 games for them during the 2002-2003 season. On September 30, 2003 Houston signed Jackson to a 3 year, 7.3 million dollar contract. I guess he's back! On December 27, 2004, New Orleans traded David Wesley to Houston for Jim Jackson and Bostjan Nachbar. On January 21, 2005 without ever playing a game for the Hornets, New Orleans traded Jim Jackson and a 2005 2nd round draft pick to Phoenix for Casey Jacobsen, Maciej Lampe, and Jackson Vroman.

5. Denver: Laphonso Ellis (Notre Dame)
Laphonso was named to the All-Rookie First Team after starting all 82 games for the Nuggets. He missed all but 6 games in 1994-95, but bounced back with a strong season in 1996, although he once again had to overcome a severe injury. In 1997-98, although his scoring was down, he proved he could be a solid part of a young and up and coming Nuggets team. The Nuggets front office didn't see it that way, so they let him get away in the free agent market, signing a two year contract worth 3.75 million dollars. He can immediately step into the starting lineup, replacing departing Christian Laettner and moving into the SF slot next to emerging star Alan Henderson in Laettner's old PF position. On October 4, 2000 Minnesota signed LaPhonso Ellis to a 1 year, $1.2 million contract. On July 28, 2001 Miami signed LaPhonso Ellis to a 3 year, $10 million contract.

6. Washington:

Tom Gugliotta (NC State)
Googs was early on compared to Bird and he can still become a premier forward who can rebound and play ball in the open court. Drafted by the Bullets, he went to Golden State along with 3 first round picks (1996, 1998, 2000) for Chris Webber on 11/17/94. In 1995, 5 days after Don Nelson stepped down in Golden State, he moved on to Minnesota in another blockbuster trade (for Minnesota) for Donyell Marshall. Marshall still hasn't done anything in the NBA, although he is began to show promise in 1997. On the other hand, Gugliotta has flourished under Kevin McHale's system and his hard work and determination have paid off. In Gugliotta's first season, he finished third among rookies in rebounding on his way to a berth on the All-Rookie Team. He led the Bullets in rebounding and steals his first two seasons. Tom signed to a rookie deal locking him up until 1999. He became one of the top three free agents that year (along with Scottie Pippen and Antonio McDyess). He eventually signed a six year contract worth 58.5 million dollars to join the Phoenix Suns on January 23, 1999, although the T-Wolves offered him more money to stay, he was hoping to win a championship with the Suns. He could be the third best player in this draft, but is not in the spotlight. He finally was named to play in the All-Star Game in 1997 after an exceptional year with the T-Wolves. He was the first Minnesota player ever to be invited. Tom's wife, Nikki, competes on the world-class level in the biathalon. Tom was named to the Men's USA 2000 Olympic Basketball Team. On February 19, 2004, Utah traded Keon Clark and Ben Handlogten to Phoenix for Tom Gugliotta, the lower of the two first round draft picks Phoenix has for 2004, the other 1st round draft pick Phoenix received from New York from the Marbury trade (lottery protected through 2010), a 2005 2nd round draft pick, and cash. On August 13, 2004, Boston signed Gugliotta to a one year deal worth 2.6 million dollars, hoping he will have a rejuvenated career in beantown. On February 24, 2005 Atlanta traded Antoine Walker to Boston for Gary Payton, Tom Gugliotta, Michael Stewart, and a 1st round draft pick in 2005 or 2006.

7. Sacramento:

Walt Williams (Maryland)
Walt averaged 26.8 points at Maryland his senior year to set a school single-season scoring record. He was also a 1992 consensus Second Team All-American. Walt started off well, being named to the All-Rookie Second Team and scoring a Sacramento rookie record and career high 40 points which he has yet to beat. He is big for his position at 6-8 (small forward, big guard), but still quick. He can hurt you both inside and outside. He is nicknamed "The Wizard" for his magic acts on the court. Walt was traded to Miami in 1996 along with Tyrone Corbin for Billy Owens and Kevin Gamble. In 1996 he signed a one year deal with the Raptors for the league minimum hoping that he could improve his statistics with an expansion team where he would get the minutes and sign a bigger deal the following year. He did well for them, leading to his selection to participate in the 3 point shootout during All-Star Weekend. His hard work paid off as he was rewarded by the Raptors with a 5 year deal (starting in 1997) worth 20 million dollars after leading the team in 3 point shooting (.400). On Febryary 13, 1998 Walt was traded along with Damon Stoudamire and Carlos Rogers to Portland for Kenny Anderson, Gary Treny, Alvin Williams and 2 draft picks. Dallas signed Walt Williams to a 1 year, minimum contract on October 18, 2002. The Wizard appeared in the video for Hootie and the Blowfish song "Only Want to be With You".

8. Milwaukee: Todd Day (Arkansas)

9. Philadelphia:

Clarence Weatherspoon (Southern Miss)
Clarence has a deadly mid-range jumper, but can also kill you at the boards (aka "Baby Barkley"). His most notable recognition to date was being named to the All-Rookie Second Team, but he also competed in the 1993 Slam Dunk Competition in Salt Lake City. He put together a good career in Philly, but was unable to step his game up to the next level...he might just need a change in scenery. A couple days prior to the 1997 draft he was traded to Boston along with Michael Cage for Dino Radja, but Radja failed the physical so both players went home. 1996-97 saw 'Spoon hit a career low in scoring. On February 17, 1998, Weatherspoon was traded along with Jim Jackson to Golden State for Joe Smith and Brian Shaw. On January 24, 1999, he signed a 3 year contract worth 5.8 million dollars to join the Miami Heat. On August 30, 2000 in a 3 team trade, Portland traded away Brian Grant and Gary Grant and received Shawn Kemp; Miami traded away Chris Gatling, Clarence Weatherspoon, a conditional 1st round draft pick, and cash and received Brian Grant; and Cleveland traded away Shawn Kemp and received Chris Gatling, Clarence Weatherspoon, Gary Grant, a conditional 1st round draft pick, and cash. On July 20, 2001 New York signed Clarence Weatherspoon to a 5 year, $27.5 million contract. Prior to the 2005-2006 season Houston released Clarence using the amnesty clause where they have to pay his salary, but it doesn't count against the cap.

10. Atlanta: Adam Keefe (Stanford)
Keefe was then traded to Utah for Ty Corbin and a 1995 second rounder on 9/16/94.

11. Houston:

Robert Horry (Alabama)
Robert started in every game he played during his rookie year, the only rookie on a winning team that could boast this fact. He can contribute to his team during the regular season, but especially comes alive in the playoffs. His "three" at the end of game 3 of the 1995 Finals helped win the game that led to a sweep of Orlando by Houston. His quickness and agility have made him a dangerous power forward, but he might be better suited to the small forward position. He helps his team by running the open court and sinking the three-pointer. He was almost traded to Detroit for Sean Elliot. Many thought 1995 would be his break-out year, but he has remained consistent and hasn't surpassed his career averages and usual contributions. Robert was involved in the four player deal which brought Barkley to the Rockets and sent Horry, Cassell and Mark Bryant to the Suns. He was then traded to the Lakers for Cedric Ceballos. The Lakers signed him to a 7 year, $35 million contract in the 1997 off season. Although, his scoring has gone down since he's been with the Lakers, his "Hustle Stats" have remained steady, meaning he puts up solid numbers in rebounds, blocks and steals every year. On July 23, 2003 Horry signed a 2 year, $10.5 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs. On August 5, 2004, San Antonio re-signed him to a one year deal. Then they re-signed him for an additional three years.

12. Miami: Harold Miner (USC)
Harold came into the league with the nickname "Little Jordan", but left the league soon thereafter, not resembling Big J at all.

13. Denver: Bryant Stith (Virginia)
Although injury prone, Stith has tried to put together a respectable NBA career, and could be in the league for a while. He steadily improves year after year, and it is impossible, when healthy, to keep him out of the Nuggets' starting lineup.

14. Indiana: Malik Sealy (St. Johns)
At St. John's he finished his career as the school's number two scorer behind Chris Mullin and the number one steals man. He really didn't do anything in 2 years in Indiana, but when he was traded aolong with Eric Piatkowski and Pooh Richardson to the Clips for Mark Jackson and Greg Minor on 6/30/94 his career started to take off. He spent 3 years as the starting SG for the Clips, then in the 1997 offseason signed a free agent deal wit the Pistons. As a starter he averages about 12 or 13 points a night. At 6-8 he can also play SF, but gets most of his minutes at guard.

15. LA Lakers:

Anthony Peeler (Missouri)
Anthony was a standout collegiate athlete, being named the Big Eight Player of the Year and a Second-Team All American as a senior. He also held school records for assists and steals. Peeler began his young NBA career as a sparkplug for the LA Lakers. He started many games, being called on to step into Magic's and Byron Scott's shoes, but really couldn't even begin to fill them. He did win the starting job, though. On 7/16/96 he was traded to the Grizzlies for an exchange of second round picks, basically to make room for Eddie Jones to develop. He's been a solid contributor on the expansion squad. On February 18, 1998 he was traded to Minnesota for Doug West in a one for one deal. On August 15, 2003, Sacramento signed Anthony to a 1 year contract with a 2nd year at Peeler's option. Peeler signed with Washington for the 2004-2005 season.

16. LA Clippers: Randy Woods (LaSalle)

17. Seattle:

Doug Christie (Pepperdine)
Doug is a native of Seattle, and after playing for Pepperdine where he averaged 19 points as a senior and had nice showings in pre-draft camps, he was picked by the Sonics. Unfortunately he never played for the team and his rights were traded to the Lakers along with Benoit Benjamin for Sam Perkins (2/22/93). He had a nice sophomore campaign with the Lakers, but injuries slowed him down...that is the story of his career. He was traded to the Knicks on 10/13/94 for a couple of second rounders, but never really had a chance in the Big Apple. On February 18, 1996, Christie finally got a real chance, being traded along with Herb Williams to the expanion Toronto Raptors for Willie Anderson and Victor Alexander. In his first full year in Toronto, he started 81 games for the team on his way to finishing second in Most Improved Player voting to Ike Austin. 1996-97 was by far his most productive year, posting career highs across the board. He holds the Raptors record for most steals in a game with nine on 2-25-97 against the Denver Nuggets. Doug has a tatoo of his daughter, Chantell. On September 29, 2000 Sacramento traded Corliss Williamson to Toronto for Doug Christie. In 2000-01, Doug was an extremely valuable member of a Kings team that seemed to be coming of age. He was also named to the All-Defensive Second team that year. He made the All-Defensive Second Team for Two years in a row, then was named to the All-Defensive First Team in 2003, but was back on the All-Defensive Second Team in 2004. On July 18, 2001 Sacramento re-signed Doug Christie to a 7 year, $48 million contract. On January 10, 2005 Sacramento traded Doug Christie to Orlando for Cuttino Mobley and Michael Bradley. Prior to the 2005-2006 season, Orlando released Doug using the amnesty clause where they have to still pay his salary, but it doesn't count against the cap. On August 19, 2005 Dallas signed Doug Christie to a 3 year, $9.7 million contract with the second and third years at the team's and player's option.

18. San Antonio:

Tracy Murray (UCLA)Tracy was a superstar prep player, averaging 44.3 points per game as a senior at Glendora High School. At UCLA he was a 2 time member of the All-PAC 10 Conference First Team. He was drafted by the Spurs at number 18, then traded to the Blazers via Milwaukee. In Portland he was used primarily off the bench as a 3 point specialist. He led the league in 3 point accuracy with .459 in 1993-94, hitting the league minimum 50 shots needed to qualilfy for league leader. In the 1994-95 season he was traded with Clyde Drexler and Mark Bryant to the Rockets for Otis Thorpe, where he won an NBA championship. He had his breakthrough year in 1995-96, finishing fourth in the Most Improved Player Voting. As a free agent, he signed with the Washington Bullets at the start of the 1996-97 season to a 7 year deal. He played there for 4 seasons, then was traded to the Denver Nuggets for Popeye Jones and a future second-round draft choice on 9/25/00. On January 12, 2001, he was traded by the Nuggets with Keon Clark and Mamadou N'diaye to the Toronto Raptors for Kevin Willis, Aleksandar Radojevic, Garth Joseph and a 2001 or 2002 second-round draft choice. He was then traded by the Raptors along with their first-round draft pick (20th overall) to the Lakers for Lindsey Hunter and Los Angeles' first-round selection (27th overall) on 6/26/02. At 6'8'' he can play either small forward or big guard. On 2-10-98 he scored an amazing amount of points...fifty...for his career high, against the Warriors.

19. Washington: Don MacLean (UCLA)

20. Knicks:

Hubert Davis (UNC)
As a senior, Hubert averaged 21.4 points per game. His college career average was an amazing 0.435 from behind the three-point line. He has steadily improved year after year, culminating in his move to the starting lineup in the Big Apple. He is a dangerous three-point shooter who can play either the big guard or small forward position. He competed in the three point shootout in 1996 during the All-Star Weekend. On July 24, 1996 Hubert was traded to the Raptors for a 1997 first round draft pick (the pick was originally the Knicks anyhow!) This seems to be a step backwards for him as he did not get any valuable minutes for the expansion team. Dallas signed him to a 6 year 4.5 million dollar contract prior to the 1997-98 season. He posted a career high in points, averaging 11.1 in his first season there. He also averaged a career high 29.4 minutes per game. On August 2, 2000, Dallas re-signed Hubert Davis to a 4 year, $10 million contract. On September 11, 2002 Washington traded Richard Hamilton, Bobby Simmons, and Hubert Davis to Detroit from Jerry Stackhouse, Brian Cardinal, and Ratko Varda.

Golden State: Latrell Sprewell (Alabama)
Latrell was named to the All-Rookie Second Team after being the the first rookie in Warriors' history to score 1,000 points, grab 250 rebounds, dish out 250 assists, snag 100 steals and block 50 shots. He also led the Warriors in minutes with (2,741). In his second year he played 3,533 minutes to lead the league, and also play more minutes than anyone else in the past decade and a half. Latrell became the third from this class, joining Shaq and Mourning, as all-stars, starting the 1995 Game and as a reserve in 1994 and 1997. He excels in isolation with a quick first step to blow by defenders. He has improved on his long range shooting, but still has trouble hitting the three with consistency. He is most dangerous as he moves in closer to the basket and can dunk over the top of the best of them. For a while he feuded with teammate Tim Hardaway, now he has no excuse since Hardaway is gone to Miami. Latrell needed to steop up as the team's leader, but never quite did. In 1993-94, he was named to the All-NBA First Team, and the All-Defensive Second Team. He was the youngest player (23) since Isiah Thomas to be named to the team. He re-signed with the Warriors on a four year deal rumored to be around 32 million dollars. Golden state really needed his help, since he has led the team in scoring since 1993-94. In the biggest story of a young 1997-98 season, Latrell attacked coach PJ Carlesimo during a practice, choking him and punching him in two separate attacks. His actions led to a one year suspension by the NBA and his contract being voided by the Warriors, but arbitration determined that GS stilled owed him his money on his contract. On January 21, 1999, the Knicks traded Chris Mill, John Starks and Terry Cummings to the Warriors for Latrell. The Knicks signed him to a 5 year, $61.9 million contract extension, just prior to the start of the 1999-2000 season. On July 24, 2003, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired Latrell Sprewell in a four team deal. The deal sent Latrell Sprewell (from New York) to the T-Wolves, Marc Jackson (from Minnesota) and Glenn Robinson (from Atlanta) to the Sixers, Terrell Brandon (from Minnesota) and Randy Holcomb and a future #1 pick (both from the Sixers), and Van Horn ( from Philadelphia) to the Knicks.

Houston: Popeye Jones (Murray State)
Popeye played in Italy in 1992-93, then was traded to the Mavericks for the rights to Eric Riley. He did well in Dallas for a couple of years before being shipped off to Toronoto on 7/24/96. He was there a year, before he lost most of the 1997-98 season to injury. He was traded on February 18, 1998 along with new Toronto acquisition Kenny Anderson and Zan Tabak for Chauncey Billups, Roy Rogers, John Thomas and Dee Brown. At Murray State as a senior he led the nation in rebounding. He was also an All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team selection. He finished third among rookies in rebounding and tied Sam Perkins' rookie rebounding record for the Mavs (605). He also played in the Schick Rookie Game. Although he's only 6-8, he's a rebounding machine. On January 22, 1999, the Celtics signed Popeye to a three year contract worth 8 million dollars. They hope to bring his leadership and experience to a young nucleus of players. Hey...maybe he can teach Antoine a thing or two about rebounding too...then he'd really look like Sir Charles. On July 18, 2001 Washington re-signed Popeye Jones to a 1 year, $1.3 million contract. He had a bit of a resurgence that year, putting up solid board totals in limited minutes. He was signed by the Mavericks as a free agent on September 20, 2002. On August 18, 2003 Dallas traded Nick Van Exel, Avery Johnson, Evan Eschmeyer, Popeye Jones, and Antoine Rigaudeau to Golden State for Antawn Jamison, Danny Fortson, Jiri Welsch, and Chris Mills.

42. Miami:

Matt Geiger (Georgia Tech)
Matt started his college career at Auburn, then transfered to Georgia Tech after his sophomore season. In 1995 he was traded to the Hornets in a package deal (including Glen Rice) for Alonzo Mourning. He had established himself as Charlotte's center, filling in the void caused by the loss of Alonzo. When Vlade Divac came to, town his playing time in the post has decreased, but he got his minutes at power forward, posting a career best in scoring in 1997-98 averaging 11.3 per game. Charlotte couldn't hold on to him, opting to bring in Derrick Coleman instead. He signed a 6 year 51 million dollar contract to move to Philadelphia on January 21, 1999. He still hasn't lived up to his contracet and injuries have taken the bulk of his last few years, with a low of playing only 4 games in the 2001-2002 season.
