Q: Did you have any idea before the draft in 1992 that Denver was a possible landing spot for you?
A: I wasn’t sure. I knew that they had me in two, three times before and each time the concern was as a power forward could I shoot the basketball because they had only seen me score the ball in the low post. And what they found out right away is that I consistently – over two different tryouts – shot the ball well.
I remember back in May they (prognosticators) had me going late first round, and then after I visited all the teams there was speculation that I would go somewhere between 17 and 21.
