Naismith and John R. Wooden Awards ... Against Dream Team II in 1994, scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 18 minutes against Shaquille O'Neal. ...

philadelphia 1997 NBA Draft - The Draft Review
Draft Notes: Solid post player with great shooting range. ... Has drawn comparisons to Larry Bird, but not in the same class as "Larry Legend". ... "He plays big, sees the floor well, shoots with unreal range, and gets to the basket whenever he wants to," Orlando Magic general manager John Gabriel said. ... Can be slow-footed at times. ... Might have problems defending quicker NBA forwards, especially if matched with power players. ... Clutch at the free-throw line -- over 90 percent as a senior and 85 percent in four-year college career. ... Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 1995, 1996 and 1997. - 1997 AP

Draft Notes: Improved dramatically during final (junior) season. ... Offensive moves need seasoning. ... May start career as a small forward and move to power spot if he adds to his lean frame. ... NBA scouts like his leaping ability in the paint. ... Could start for most lottery teams. ... Great lateral movement and quick release. ... Takes big people outside and can beat them off the dribble. ... Good jump shooter for his size. ... Scoring improved from 9.7 ppg as a sophomore to 18.8 as a junior. - 1997 AP
