Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread Joe Forte, he was sick at NC. Left for the pros instead of developing his game, and in college he was supposed to be the next Jordan. He's playing in Italy now though according to Wikipedia. Could have been something if he stayed in college.
Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread Eddie Robinson, he had some problems with Skiles, they bought him out and I havent seen or heard anything about him in awhile
Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread Vladimir Stephania I thought was going to be good for years to come, but he floated around a couple teams, and never got consistent minutes for the solid production he was giving. He's playing somewhere in Europe, and may try to make a comeback this year. He last saw NBA action in a 2004-2005 preseason game against Toronto.

I believe he's a free agent.Chris Crawford-Played 7 seasons with the Hawks, his last in 2003-2004, I believe he either retired or just simply was never signed again. He's not in the D-League and I don't believe he's in a minor league either.Jim Jackson-Always felt bad for this guy, he should have been an unbelievable player in this league but had that awful injury and never recovered from it really. He still played some good ball but he coulda been so sick. He was waived by the Suns in O6', the the Lakers singed him, but I don't even know if he ever stepped on the floor with a Lakers jersey.Roger Mason-Had a 10-day contract with the Wizards at some point this season but I think he got cut. Probably still a free agent.Tariq Abdul-Wahad-Underachiever. Period. Was signed to one of the worst contracts in the history of the league for a guy of his talent. (aka no talent). He was always injured, a bad locker room guy, I remember that incident when he was on the Nuggets where Dan Issel told him to hustle and he said "don't talk to me like that". He got injured, the Mavs somehow picked up his contract, he played like 5 games for them and he fizzled out of the league.Lee Nailon-Plays pro ball in Isreal.Michael Dickerson-Had awful groin injuries that forced him to retire in 2002. He was a great player his first few years in the league. I got to see him play in Boston once back in the day when I had floor seats against the Grizzlies.Doug Overton-Assistant coach for Saint Joseph's.Keith Van Horn-Free agent that wanted to take a year off I believe. There have been rumors of the Jazz picking him up in the past. I think he plans on returning next season.Christian Laettner-Retired, wants to buy the Memphis Grizzlies.

Gets a couple minutes a game and sometimes does in-fact knock down some nice three pointers. However he never really played up to his potential.I actually asked about Laettner earlier in the thread. He doesn't play anymore, was tarded to the Mavs but ended up on the Heat where he eventually retired.
Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread How many teams did Jim Jackson play for? Yeesh, you've got to feel for the guy.

Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Did Jimmy Jackson retire?</div>He was pretty much let go, didn't have a contract, and nobody wanted him.

Re: Where'd They Go (?) Thread <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I see.. but why the Mavs? He never played for them, is there some sort of connection?</div>He was drafted 4th overall by the Mavericks in 1992. He played his first four years with the team and had his best statistical season with the Mavs. He was emerging as a superstar before he got a bad ankle injury, he was averaging 26 points a game in 51 games in 94-95 but got injured.
