<< 1983 1984 1985 >> -------------------- July 07, 2004 Ralph Sampson: 1983-84 Rookie of the year
Born: July 7, 1960, Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA. College: Virginia NBA start: Selected 1rst overall in the 1983 NBA draft by Houston. Size: height:7'4" - weight:228lbs Stats: gp:82 - mpg:32.8 - ppg:21.0 - rpg:11.1 - apg:2.0 - fg%:52.3 - ft%:66.1 Team standing: 29-53, last in Midwest division. Comments: The following year Houston would select Akeem Olajuwon to form the NBA's 1rst twin towers. They would lose to Boston in the 1986 NBA finals. Sampson was very injury prone however. He was never the same player after his 3rd season and was eventually traded to Golden State in 87 to make way for Olajuwon who played the same position. -------------------- << 1983 1984 1985 >> Back to rookies list Back to NBA almanac |
