Name that player!

After sitting out the previous two years because of a Navy commitment, David's first NBA Season was, by all accounts, awesome. Robinson captured the NBA rookie-of-the-year award in 1990 by leading the Spurs in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocked shots. David finished 10th in the leaque in scoring, second in rebounding and third in blocked shots. David captured the Wooden Award as college basketball's player-of-the-year in 1987, and was the first player to total 2,500 points and 1,300 rebounds.



"CAROLINA THUNDER" How acquired: Drafted in the first round in 1991 (first selection). While the Charlotte Hornets mulled their options on the first pick in the 1991 NBA Draft, a poll taken by the Charlotte Observer asked readers to vote for the players they wanted the Hornets to pick. Dikembe Mutombo was the overwhelming choice. Larry Johnson edged Billy Owens for second. Charlotte fans can thank the Hornets front office for not listening. The Hornets chose Johnson with the first pick and he has been paying dividends ever since. Larry finished his first season 11th in the NBA in rebounding (11 per game) and averaged 19.7 points per game. Johnson has quickly developed into an NBA superstar, even to the point of getting his own commercial for a sneaker company featuring his "Grandmama". He easily captured the 1992 NBA Rookie of the Year award. "You can now consider him one of the elite players in the league, in that special handful," Homets' coach Allan Bristow said. "Not only in how he's played, but how he's brought us in a new direction. It's not only his talent, it's his leadership." That rumbling in the Charlotte Coliseum these days is "Carolina Thunder" - Larry Johnson in charge.



Sidelined early in his rookie year with a knee injury... A strong inside player... Among Sixers' leaders in blocked shots and rebounds... Left college as school's all-time leading scorer ... Three-time all-PAC 10 pick... Teamed with Dallas' Uwe Blab and Indiana's Detlef Schrempf on 1984 West German Olympic Team.
