He was my favorite player back then and I still do not know how he did not make it big in the NBA.

[adamwalk]

My favorite player on my all-time favorite college team!!

[cavaleer]

I don't know for sure but I don't think he could shoot well enough because he wasn't big enough to be a 3 or 4 in the NBA. That's the only thing I can think that would've derailed him.

flyin illin of 1989 favorite college team of all time

[marehtseira]

I'm surprised that he didn't play much or at all in the NBA. I know he was 6'5/6'6, but he was athletic enough to play as a 3/SF at that level.

[garagedj]

We always thought he would go NBA in High School. he was just so good

[xavibomber1]

i think his man played in mallorca, spain, in 1992. i remember his strenght. where didi he play in he states?

[lv00859]

NBA teams had him as too small to play PF and not enough jump shooting to play SF. I really always wished a team would have given him the shot. He could have played undersized PF like Barkely or Aguire.He played undersized in College and learned how to score and rebound and defend bigger players. SAD that was my favorite team of all time in college BBall.
