1993 NBA Draft

The 1993 NBA Draft took place on 30 June 1993 in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The draft had some talented players at the top, but injuries and personal problems hurt many of them. Anfernee Hardaway, Allan Houston, and Jamal Mashburn all looked like possible Hall of Famers until their careers were cut short by injuries. Isaiah Rider and Vin Baker showed great potential but were plagued by personal problems. Bobby Hurley's career was derailed by a car accident in December of his rookie year. The mid-to-late first round (starting with pick 13) was littered with players that failed to make any significant impact. Only Sam Cassell, Chris Mills, Rodney Rogers, Lindsey Hunter, Chris Webber and Ervin Johnson went on to have NBA careers of ten or more years. This is a sharp contrast to the eight players with ten or more years in the league that were either selected in the second round or undrafted (Lucious Harris, Bryon Russell, Nick Van Exel, Chris Whitney, Bruce Bowen, Bo Outlaw, David Wesley and Aaron Williams).
