1.Charles Smith 2.Braves 3.Rory White 4.No idea, this question is more about UCLA than LAC. 5.Marques Johnson?
1)D - Darrick Martin (I'm not sure if it was Pooh's <u>last</u> season as a Clipper, but I remember them playing in the same backcourt.) 2)C - Braves - (In the 1970?s, the Clippers were in Buffalo and known as the Braves.) 3)B - Loy Vaught (Maurice Taylor - Michigan but no jumper, Rodney Rogers - Wake Forest, Danny Manning - Kansas, Rory White - South Alabama) 4)C - Terry Cummings (I don't remember players on UCLA named Brooks, Nixon, or Hodges, although they could have been backups. Also, I've never heard of Rudy Bozeman the NBA player.) 5)D - Marques Johnson (Easiest question. None of those other guys ever won the Wooden Award.)
1. Darrick Martin 2. Braves 3. Well, I think it's a toss up between Mo Taylor and Vaught because when Mo was playing for the Clippers, he did have a solid jumper back then if I remember correctly. But since I don't really like Mo I'm just gonna go with Vaught . 4. Cummings. I actually saw TJ Cummings in real life on campus. The guy is tall! 5. Marques Johnson.
1. In Pooh Richardson?s final years as a clipper, he wasn?t the only guard who was a UCLA alum on the team. Who was the other? a. Troy Hudson b. Charles Smith c. James Collins d. Darrick Martin e. James Robinson Okay, for this one, Troy Hudson is too young, Charles smith was a Forward not a Guard, I don't really remember hearing too much about James Collins, and I don't think he was a Clipper, I'll go with James Robinson or Martin? 2. What was the original franchise name of the Clippers? a. Chargers b. Colonels c. Braves d. Squires e. They were always the Clippers 3. This Michigan Alum powerfoward was known for his great baseline jumpshot? a. Maurice Taylor b. Loy Vaught c. Rodney Rodgers d. Danny Manning e. Rory White 4.

Answers were edited into the original post...u just have to highlight it with your cursor to see the answers
Hmm.. I never thought Vaught had that good of a jumper, but oh well..Seemed like the questions were more about UCLA than the Clippers.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LACneedGRIZZARD:</div><div class="quote_post">Hmm.. I never thought Vaught had that good of a jumper, but oh well..Seemed like the questions were more about UCLA than the Clippers.</div> In his prime, Vaught had one of the best baseline J's in the game. That was his shot. Matter of fact, the was his game... Looking back, these questions are heavily UCLA related, but keep in mind I wrote them right in the middle of the college bball season, lol ...u can tell where my mind was at the time
