"BAY AREA'S BEST" How acquired: Drafted in the first round in 1989 (14th selection). Tim Hardaway completed his third NBA season in 1991-92, but no less an authority than Isiah Thomas stamped him as the point guard of the future. "He's got a nice game," Thomas said after a contest. "Every move I've ever had, he's got. And he's doing pretty good, too." Sacramento Kings' Director of Player Personnel Jerry Reynolds agrees with Thomas. "Hardaway is a point guard who's turned into a dominant player," Reynolds said. "I don't think anyone can guard him." Hardaway placed sixth in the NBA in scoring (23.4 ppg.) and third in assists (10 per game). Tim's 164 steals allowed him to become the fifth player in NBA history to place in the top 10 in scoring, assists and steals in the same season. Hardaway came to Golden State as an unheralded draft choice in 1989 out of the University of Texas-El Paso. Since then, he's simply become the "Bay Area's Best" player.
