Name: David Thompson Position: Shooting Guard Height: 6-4 (1.93m) Weight: 195 (88kg) College Team: North Carolina State Wolfpack Nationality: American Birthplace: Shelby, North Carolina Birthdate: 7/13/1954 Drafted: Selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round (1st pick overall) of 1975 NBA Draft.

Draft Notes: Apple of the pro scouts' eyes for three years now, the Wolfpack's irrepressible forward will most certainly go in the first round. Thompson, a true superstar who leaps like he doesn't know he's only 6-foot-4, has been described by the talent scouts as "the most devastating player in the college game." Gemerates excitement by soaring above the basket for his patented "alley oop" shot, can hit from the outside and moves exceptionally well without the ball. Averaged nearly 30 points a game this past year.- 1975 AP
