He quickly distinguished himself, and earned First Team All-Big Ten and Second Team All-American honors. After two very successful years at Purdue, the Milwaukee Bucks drafted him, signing him to a $68 million, 6-year contract. He played very well for the team for the next six years and is their second place leading all-time scorer. He subsequently played single seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the San Antonio Spurs, but recurrent knee injuries eventually shortened his career, and he retired in 2005.
