Could have been a huge star--really a shame that cocaine controlled his life like so many NBA players in the 80s/early 90s (Tarpley, Lewis Lloyd, Mitchell Wiggins and of course the Len Bias tragedy)
The craziest thing, despite all his troubles he ended up playing in Europe until he was like 47 or something
I think it was Isiah that said, other than Magic, he was the toughest PG he ever had to guard which is impressive

The fourth overall pick - from that basketball hotbed of the University of Montana.
