Ernie Johnson's first NBA draft he hosted for TNT replacing Bob Neal, who had been hosting it for a long time from 1985-1994. Amazing how much younger he looked back then.

KG did have the best career and best ppg averages out of all of them except for Stackhouse, but if your speaking abt the 1995-96 season, Stackhouse, Joe Smith, McDyess, Damon Stoudamire, Michael Finley, Big Country, and Sheed were better than him in terms of scoring in that season.

I mean he had 20.8 PPG, 2.9BPG, 1.5SPG and 10.6RPG as a sophomore, idk what impresses you more. He is a solid player having a career average being 10.9PPG which is still pretty decent, he just kept getting sent over to alot of teams in his 16 year career so he can get alot of money (what i meant was he was offered 83M to sign a 3 one year contracts). But he can still average at around 10 or 11 PPG.
