"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.
One of the most exciting rookies in the league, Williams can do everything. The 6'8" guard-forward led the ACC in scoring as a senior, pumping in 26.8 points per game. He also contributed 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 steals per contest. Williams will back up both Lionel Simmons and Mitch Richmond as a rookie, giving the Kings a uniquely versatile three-player, "2-3" rotation.
Originally based in New York as the Buffalo Braves, the franchise traveled from coast to coast to settle in San Diego as the Clippers for the 1978-79 season. Six seasons later, the club took its show on the road to Los Angeles, where in 1992, the Clippers made their first trip to the NBA Playoffs since 1975-76. DID YOU KNOW? In 1992-93, the Clippers posted back-to-back winning months to open a season (7-6 in November, 8-6 in December) for the first time since 1974-75. When Larry Brown took over the Clippers midway through 1991-92, he became the first person to coach two different NBA teams in one season. SCORECARD. In the highest-scoring NBA Playoff game in franchise history (April 18, 1976), the Braves topped Philadelphia 124-123 in overtime for their only triumph in an NBA Playoff series.
