The 1995 NBA Draft took
from the poor and gave to the rich.
A record 10 underclassmen were
taken in the first round, which
will make this year’s rookie class
one of the best in history.
Here’s a list of the first 15
draft picks and an overall draft
report:
1. Golden State: Joe Smith,
Maryland forward. Smith, who is
easily the most talented player se
lected in the draft, will bring his
all-around skills to a team that
surely needs him.
2. L.A. Clippers: Antonio
McDyess, Alabama forward,
(traded to Denver with Randy
Woods for Brent Barry and
Rodney Rogers) McDyess will be
a good post player, but he won’t
live up to his lofty #2 status.
3.
Philadelphia: Jerry
Stackhouse, North Carolina
guard. Stackhouse has the most
potential of any player in the draft
and he proved his worth in lead
ing the Tar Heels to the final four
in March.
4. Washington: Rasheed
Wallace, North Carolina forward/
center. Wallace is the most un
derdeveloped player in the draft
and could have used at least one
more year in college. Wallace
joins a very strong front line
(Chris Webber, Juwan Howard
and Gheorghe Muresan) with the
Bullets.
5. Minnesota: Kevin Garnett,
Farragut Academy (high school)
forward. The Timberwolves have
taken a big risk in drafting
Garnett, who entered the draft as
a high school senior. Garnett will
either be a big star or the biggest
bust in the draft in a long time.
6. Vancouver: Bryant Reeves,
Oklahoma State center. Reeves
carried his team to the Final Four,
but could struggle with limited
post skills and slow movement
under the basket.
7.
Toronto:
Damon
Stoudamire, Arizona guard. The
Portland native will succeed in the
NBA due to the fact that he has
tremendous shooting range and
strong defensive skills.
8. Portland: Shawn Respert,
Michigan State guard, (traded to
Milwaukie for Gary Trent)
Respert is a good shooter who got
many comparisons to one Earvin
“Magic” Johnson. Respert will do
well with Glenn Robinson and
Vin Baker at his sides.
9. New Jersey: Ed O’Bannon,
UCLA forward. O’Bannon was
greatly overrated at UCLA, and
he could be held back by recur
ring knee problems. He will have
a hard time bumping bodies with
the big boys. O’Bannon will be a
starter at New Jersey, but that’s
not saying much.
10. Miami: Kurt Thomas,
TCU forward. Who? That’s what
a lot of NBA people said when
the Heat took the number one
scorer and rebounder in the na
tion, although his numbers were
downplayed by many who pointed
to the fact that he played in the
Southwest Conference.
11. Milwaukee: Gary Trent,
Ohio U. forward, (traded to Port
land for Shawn Respert) Trent
will make an impact right away
with the Trail Blazers, who are
now without forwards Otis
Thorpe and Jerome Kersey. Trent
is small in size, but makes up for
it in power and leaping ability.
12. Dallas: Cherokee Parks,
Duke forward/center. Parks will
fit in well with the Mavericks.
13. Sacramento: Corliss
Williamson, Arkansas forward.
Williamson was at his best in the
NCAA Tourney, but he won't pan
out in the NBA. He's too slow in
side and doesn't have the skills to
compete with bigger players.
14. Boston: Eric Williams,
Providence forward. Williams
will be a great addition to the
Celtics, who deperately need a
strong inside player.
15. Denver: Brent Barry, Or
egon State guard, (traded to the
Clippers) Barry will surprise a lot
of people with great passing and
ball handling skill«. Barry has
what it takes to be a good 3-man
in the NBA.
