<< 1998 1999 2000 >> -------------------- July 07, 2004 Vince Carter: 1998-99 Rookie of the year
Born: January 26, 1977, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA. College: North Carolina NBA start: Selected 5th overall by Golden State. Size: height:6'7" - weight:215lbs Stats: gp:50 - mpg:35.2 - ppg:18.3 - rpg:5.7 - apg:3.0 - fg%:45.0 - ft%:76.1 Team standing: 23-27, 6th in Central division. Comments: The top new comer in perhaps one of the best NBA drafts ever (in terms of breadth of talent), he was traded on draft day to Toronto. His high-flying game made him an instant favorite in the league, and a whole country's favorite ball player. His success probably helped Toronto gain enough fan support to stay in Canada. -------------------- << 1998 1999 2000 >> Back to rookies list Back to NBA almanac |
