Eric Murdock

They called him the 'Man of Steal' at Providence, where Eric Murdock set an NCAA career steals record that stood until 2002. Utah drafted him 21st overall in 1991 for one season before his best years came in Milwaukee — 82 games and 15.3 points a night in 1993–94, plus immortality as a playable character in NBA Jam.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah drafted him 21st overall in 1991 and moved him after one season, trading away real potential for role players who would not make mistakes next to Stockton and Malone.
