1988 Draft Class
1. LA Clippers: Danny Manning (Kansas)
2. Indiana: 
Rik Smits (Marist)
Big man (7' 4'') Rik Smits is emerging as one of the powerful forces in
the middle, joining Reggie Miller on a talented Pacers team. He was
selected to the All-Rookie team after a solid first year. Rik holds the
Pacers record for most blocks in a season. This big guy is steadily
improving year after year. Rik is a native of The Netherlands, and played
for the Dutch National team after his Sophomore and Junior Years in
College. He is currently second on the Pacers all-time lists for blocks
and rebounds. He was a first time all-star in 1998 after 10 years in the
league. On January 23, 1999, Indiana re-signed Rick to a two year deal
worth 20.5 million dollars. Laying to rest rumors of his
retirement. Prior to the 2000-2001 season, Smits announced his
retirement, hanging up his sneakers for good.

3. Philadelphia: 
Charles Smith (Pittsburgh)
Charles was drafted by the Sixers
then traded to the Clippers for the draft rights to Hersey Hawkins and a
first round draft pick in 1989. He earned a berth on the NBA All-Rookie
First Team and looked to be an up and coming star. He was traded to New
York in a deal involving Mark Jackson, Stanley Roberts and draft picks in
1992. He was a good scorer in LA when he was the only weapon. In New
York his scoring dropped but he still contributed to the team. He was
traded to the Spurs for Brad Lohaus and JR Reid in
1995. In college at Pittsburgh Smith was a Second team All-American
(NABC) in 1988. He also played on the Bronze Winning Olympic Team in
1988. Injury has jeopardized his career as he has seen little action with
the Spurs. His height, 6-10, is kind of a problem for him as he's not
comfortable at power forward, nor does he really have the
strength, but he also can't excel at the 3 spot.

He left college as his school's all time leader in three-pointers and
dunks (174). He averaged 20.7 points and 9.8 rebounds during his senior
year and made an immediate impact in New Jersey, being named to the
All-Rookie second team. He was signed by Utah as a free agent. Lately he
has been warming the pine for a talented Jazz team. He can play either
the big guard or small forward. Phoenix signed him to a one year deal
worth one million dollars on February 3, 1999.

6. LA Clippers: 
Hersey Hawkins (Bradley)
Hersey Hawkins was drafted by the LA Clippers and later his rights
were traded to Philadelphia where he achieved All-Star status in 1991. He
has moved on to Seattle via Charlotte. Hersey spent two years in
Charlotte after a trade which sent Dana Barros, Sidney Green and the draft
rights to Greg Graham to Philly. He averaged around 14 points a game in
NC before he was traded to the Sonics along with David Wingate for Kendall
Gill on June 27th 1995. He was the National College Player of the Year in
1988 (AP,UPI,USBWA) at Bradley, leading the nation in scoring
that year with a 36.3 average, 15th best of all-time. Hersey was named to
the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1989 after averaging more points than
any other rookie in Sixers History. He signed a sweet 5 year contract
with the Sonics following the 1996 season. Unlike other players in his
draft class, Hersey is NOT injury prone missing less than ten games over
his career. Hawkins' streak of consecutive games played ended at 527
after missing a game on December 10, 1999. It was the 2nd longest active
streak of consecutive games played. He is a deadeye marksman, rarely
missing a free throw, nor an
open jumper. His career FT percentage hovers around .870. On AUgust 12,
1999 Chicago traded Brent Barry to Seattle for Hersey Hawkins and James
Cotton. Chicago did not re-sign him for the next season, so on September
21, 2000 Charlotte signed Hersey Hawkins to a 1 year, $1.2 million
contract.

8. Charlotte: 
Rex Chapman (Kentucky)
Rex has contributed to a number of
teams over his career. People still look at him as a shooter and he can
provide a good chunk of the offense on any given night. He played in
Miami after a brief stop in Washington (came to the Bullets for Tom
Hammonds), where he saw his first playoff action in 1996. Rex left
Charlotte as the leading scorer in Hornets history. He was also their MVP
in 1991. In 1996 the Suns signed Rex to a contract for the league
minimum. He did well for them, and was finally rewarded with a long term
deal on January 25, 1999, signing a six year contract worth 22.1 million
dollars. Rex Chapman underwent surgery during the 2000 offseason on his
thumb to fuse two bones together. He will likely miss all of this season
and is considering retirement.
Chapman was named to the All-Rookie Second Team with his 16.9
scoring average. He was also won the 1990 slam dunk competition with his
39 inch vertical leap. Rex was drafted as a sophomore by Charlotte out of
Kentucky where we has an All-SEC team selection both years in college.

9. Miami: 
Rony Seikaly (Syracuse)
Seikaly came from Beirut Lebanon to
Syracuse, after making a stop in Greece for High School. In 1988 he was
named a Consensus Second Team All-American, ranking as Syracuse's all-time
leading scorer, before Derrick Coleman was an Orangeman. Rony was drafted
by Miami, but has been
unable to assert himself as a center of recognition. He led all rookies
in rebounding with 7 a game. With Miami, in 1989-90, rony was named the
NBA's most Improved Player. He was traded to GS where his stock
as an NBA player fell rapidly. He peaked in 1993 with the Heat, and
started to disappear. Golden State had been looking to unload this
center, hoping that Fuller was their man in the middle. The Warriors
finally got rid of him, and helped Orlando along the way. The Magic sent
Donald Royal, John Koncak and Felton Spencer to the Warriors for Seikaly
and Clifford Rozier on November 2, 1996, the second day of the regular
season. Will Seikaly fill the void of Shaq? So far he has fit in nicely
and looks to be a reborn NBA Center. The Magic tried to trade him to Utah
during the week before the trading deadline in 1998, but he failed to
report to his new team, so they tried again and shipped him to NJ along
with second year player Brian Evans for David Benoit, Kevin Edwards, Yinka
Dare, and a 1998 1st round draft pick (lottery protected).

10. San Antonio: 
Willie Anderson (Georgia)
Williw was an All-Rookie first
team selection after leading the Spurs in scoring during his rookie year.
He left Georgia as a senior with the tenth pick in the draft after being
an All-Southeastern Conference First Team Selection. He did best in his
years with the
Spurs, but his stats seemed to slip every year. He had recently
settled into New York after being picked up in the expansion draft by
Vancouver, then being traded to the Knicks. He was released by the Knicks
following the 1996 season. His career was in jeopardy after a series of
leg injuries in 1991. He signed with the Heat for the remainder of the
1997 year. At 6-7 or 6-8 he is big for the 2 spot, and can play small
forward on occasion. He retired following the 1996-97 season.

12. Washington: 
Harvey Grant (Oklahoma)
Horace's twin brother, was drafted
with high expectations by the Washington Bullets. After a somewhat
productive career, it is obvious that he is nothing like his all-star
brother. Harvey is a soft player who
is better suited for the small forward slot. Portland even used him at
big guard. Unfortunately he only has a good medium range jump shot, and
still needs to work on his perimeter shooting. He came to Portland for
Kevin Duckworth and spent 3 years in the Rose City. After the 1996 season
he was traded back to the Bullets along with Rod Strickland in a deal for
Rasheed Wallace. On AUgust 13, 1999, Harvey signed a one year, 1.2
million dollar contract then was traded to Orlando along with Anthony
Parker for Billy Owens. By no means is Harvey a bad player, he just
doesn't live up to his brother's expectations. In college he played for
3 teams over 5 years (Redshirted his freshman year at Clemson), finishing
with Oklahoma. He was named a 3rd Team All American (UPI, NABC) in
1988. He signed with the WIzards for the 2000-2001 season, but was waived
prior to opening day, so he is still looking for a team.

13. Milwaukee: Jeff Grayer (Iowa State)
14. Phoenix: 
Dan Majerle (Central Michigan)
Thunder Dan brings an outside shooting threat to any team he faces. He
was drafted with the 14th pick out of Central
Michigan University where he was a 3 time All-Mid American Conference
player. After being an integral part of a dangerous Suns team, there were
high expectations that he would bring some thunder to Cleveland.
Unfortunately, he never found his place on the team and had an
unproductive and ineffectual 1995-96 campaign. He had his best season in
1991-1992. Dan is a 3 time all-star in 1992, 1993 and 1995. He was also
a member of Dream team 2 that won a World Chamionship in 1994 after
winning a bronze in the
Olympics in 1988. Thunder Dan signed
a three year deal worth 8 million with Miami to play with Zo and Riley.
Perhaps there he can find his role and contribute like he did in Phoenix.
He wanted to come back to Phoenix, but they could only offer him less
than 300,000 for one year. In 1999, he signed a one year contract
extension to stay with the Heat through 2000. Dan returned to Phoenix
signing a one year deal worth one million dollars for the 2001-2002
season.

Rod Strickland (DePaul)
Rod was released by San Antonio in
1992 and quickly signed as a
free agent by the TrailBlazers where he soon turned into the club MVP
after Clyde left for Houston. He is tied for the Portland single game
assist record with 20, which is also his career high (3/30/96). He was
drafted by New York at number 19 after declaring early eligibility at the
end of his junior season at DePaul. He was named to the All-Rookie Second
Team after being a reliable bench player for NY. Believe it or not, Rod
was involved in a straight up deal for Mo Cheeks which sent Strickland
to the Spurs and Mo to the Big Apple on 2/21/90. He has a reputation for
being a troublemaker and has an attitude problem, as evidenced recently in
his feud with Portland coach PJ Carlesimo which ended in Strickland's
suspension from the team and eventual trade. In college he was named a
Third Team all-American (UPI). In 1995-96 he put up his best numbers,
but hopes to surpass those this season, if he can play and not be
suspended. He was traded to the Bullets along with Horace Grant for
Rasheed Wallace during the 1996 off season. So far he has been on is best
behavior in DC. Following the 1997-98 Season, Rod was honored with a
selection to the All-NBA Second Team, the first time in his career that he
was on an All-NBA Team, although he has yet to be named an all-star.
After both sides dragged their feet, the Wizards and Rod cam e to an
agreement on a four year deal worth 40 million dollars on February 3,
1999.

Edwards was the Heat's second draft
pick ever, Rony Seikaly was their first at number 9. He led the Heat in
scoring his rookie year (7th among all rookies), leading to his selection
on the All-Rookie Second Team. He was a starter in Miami, before he lost
his job to rookie Steve Smith in 1991. After 4 productive years (and one
year marred by injury) Edwards was signed by the New Jersey Nets as a
free agent in 1993. He was signed to fill the void of the loss of Drazen
Petrovic. He put up impressive numbers his first year in New Jersey, but
his second season was lost to an Achilles Tendon Injury. He has suffered
injuries the past two years in New Jersey and hopes to return to form
when he played in 317 of 328 games during his first four years in the
league. Edwards left DePaul as the all-time leader in career field goal
percentage for a guard (0.534).

the most by a Celtic rookie since Bird. His reliability led to his
selection to the All-Rookie Second team. He is a big guard (6-6),
who is both a talented passer and someone who can hit the three. He is
also a reliable and tough defender. Shaw was traded to Miami for Sherman
Douglas, then came over to Orlando where he is the sixth man. Prior to
the 2000-2001 season, the LA Lakers signed Brian Shaw to a 2 year, $4.5
million contract. Only the 1st year is guaranteed.

the San Antonio Spurs in 1992. After a year or two he worked his way into
the starting lineup and became a valuable player on the Spurs drive
through the playoffs. He can play either guard positions, usually at 2.
He set a Spurs franchise record when he sank 50 consecutive FTs (11-29-93
to 2-4-94). He has good ball handling skills and a quick step.

33. Miami: 
Grant Long (Eastern Michigan)
As a rookie, he was named the
MVP of the Heat team. This 6-9 power forward might be a little small for
the position, but he can still play the position with the best of them.
He has a reliable middle range jumper and if left open can bury the three
(he shot .355 in 1994-95), although he doesn't take too many of them.
Long earned the nickname the Human Vitamin for the way he energizes his
teammates. Although he is a low-key player, he is a hard worker that
will undoubtedly have a long and productive NBA career as a reliable
workhorse. He came to Atlanta midseason in 1994-95. With the arrival of
Christian Laettner, Long became unneccesary. After the 1995-96 season he
was traded to the Detroit Pistons with Stacey Augmon in a package deal for
4 draft picks and Don Reid. The move was to clear money under the salary
cap to sign Mutombo.

Philadelphia after stints in Houston and San Antonio. He can play either
guard position, but has the mentality of a shooter. Squeezed out of
Houston by the acquisition of Clyde Drexler. In 1996 he
returned to the San Antonio Spurs. He played for Sacramento in the
strike shortened 1999 season, before joinin g the Celtics in 1999-2000.

Anthony Mason (Tennessee State)
Anthony Mason was originally drafted out of Tennessee State by
the Blazers early in the third round , but was never signed so he played
in Turkey in 1988-1989. His height 6'7'', was questionable for a power
forward, but he eventually proved his worth. He was signed by the Nets
for the 1989-1990 season. In 1990-1991 he spent time in the CBA and a
short stint with the Denver Nuggets. It wasn't until the Knicks gave
him a chance in 1991 that he saw any regular playing time. He played in
all 82 games in his first season in the Big Apple. He was a reliable
bench player for the Knicks, and was runner up to Cliff Robinson in 1993
for the Sixth Man Award. He finally won the award in 1994-1995 after
averaging 9.9 points and 8.4 rebounds. He worked his way into the
starting lineup in 1995. He led the league in minutes played in 1995-96
with 42.2 minutes per game. On July 15, 1996 he was traded along with
Brad Lohaus to the Charlotte Hornets for Larry Johnson. He had his
problems in New York, receiving a suspension in 1995 for an outburst
against coach Pat Riley. He has excelled in Charlotte, far surpassing
the season that LJ had in the Big Apple. He was named to the
All-Defensive Second Team and the All-NBA Third Team in 1997. On October
25, 2001 Milwaukee signed Anthony Mason to a 4 year, $21 million contract.
