It's so strange to think about this now, but when the Pacers chose Reggie Miller with the 11^th Overall Pick in 1987, Indiana’s fans were upset that they bypassed local star, Steve Alford.  It didn’t take them long to get over that frustration as Miller would emerge as one of the greatest shooters the court has ever seen.

Vincent Askew was very much a journeyman in the NBA spending time with Philadelphia, Golden State, Sacramento, New Jersey, Indiana, Denver, Portland, and Italy.  Of course, Seattle was one of those stops, and it was there where he had his most productive and stable run in basketball. 

With the Seattle SuperSonics for five of his 16 years in the NBA, Tom Chambers was a workhorse for the club. 

An All-Star in 1991 with Philadelphia, Hawkins joined the SuperSonics after being traded from the Charlotte Hornets in 1995.  Hawkins would play in Seattle for four years and would average 15.6 Points per Game in his first year as a Sonic, which would also see him help the team reach the NBA Finals.
