Chris Webber of the Washington Bullets was a solid number one draft pick
by Orlando as a sophomore out of Michigan. Not since Magic Johnson
was drafted in 1979 has a sophomore been taken with the number one pick.
Chris was immediately sent in a package deal to Golden State for Anfernee Hardaway and 3 number ones...yep you heard
me right, boy did GS give up a lot. His career got off to a fast
start as he was the first rookie EVER to put up such good overall numbers
exceeding 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists, 150 blocks and 75
steals, leading to his selection as Rookie of the Year. He was also the
youngest player to win ROY.Chris has had a dificult early career,
not quite living up to expectations and living in Penny's shadow as the
second best player in this draft class. After he had conflicts with
players and coaches in the Bay area, he was shipped off to Washington for
Tom Gugliotta and 3 more number ones. He is joined by college Fab-Five
teammate Juwan Howard in a talented
frontcourt. The change of scenery to Washington helped his career take
off again. He was named to his first all-star team in 1997 as an injury
replacement. He was elected to start in 2001, and has two other
reserve appearances (2000, 2002). When healthy, Webber is the main man in
DC, but Juwan Howard
will be pushing him for that title. The Bullets know that they can win
with him, there record was 9-6 when they had Chris in the game in 1995-96.
Chris's stats since that injury shortened year have been impressive.
In college he was a unanimous first team All-American in 1993. Webber
made 2 trips to the Final Four, but lost both times. In 1991 he
was a consensus pick for High School Player of the Year, so he has really
done well at every level. He has formed a foundation in the DC and
Detroit areas called "timeout" which benefits youngsters in those
cities. During the 1998 playoffs, Chris was traded to the Kings for Mitch
Richmond and Otis Thorpe. 1999 was a breakout season for Chris where
he led the league in rebounding and his new team to the playoffs where
they narrowly missed upsetting Utah. Webber was named to the All-NBA
Second Team in 1999 and to the Third Team in 2000. In 2001 Webber was
arguably one of the NBA's elite PFs being named to his first All-NBA
First Team. He received another All-NBA Second Team selection in 2002,
after starting the year slow, due to an injury. Once again he was on the All-NBA Second Team in 2003. He was also named to
the All-Interview Second team in 2000, the first time in his career, but
was named to the All-Interview First Team in 2001. Putting to rest the
rumors that he would leave town, on July 21, 2001 Sacramento re-signed
Chris Webber to a 7 year, $122,700,000 contract. On February 23, 2005 Sacramento traded Chris Webber, Matt Barnes, and Michael Bradley
to Philadelphia for Kenny Thomas, Corliss Williamson, and Brian Skinner.
