A Stanford seven-footer who set the school's single-season blocks record and made first-team All-Pac-10 in 2002, Borchardt went 18th in that draft to Orlando and was dealt to Utah. His body never cooperated — he sat out his rookie year and managed 83 NBA games from 2003 to 2005 before a 13-player, five-team trade sent him to Boston.
Spain gave him the career the NBA would not: he led the ACB in rebounding twice and collected 13 Player of the Week honors. His wife, Susan King Borchardt, played at Stanford and for the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx.
HOW HE CAME & WENTOrlando took him 18th in 2002 and traded him to Utah for the 19th pick and a second-rounder. A third stress fracture of the same navicular bone cost him his rookie season. Utah sent him to Boston in the five-team, 13-player trade of August 2005.
