And he probably was the last guy picked on the team. Pretty amazing. I assume he took Isiah’s spot

Drexler was actually the last guy picked. *

They picked a third SF before a second SG?

Was that because the my weren’t counting on Larry but were saving him a spot?
Daly liked Mullin as a guy who can play SG or SF

Im sure Bird being hurt had something with it. GG is right, Mullin was picked with the first 10 guys and Drexler was the last pro guy picked 8 months later. 8 of those first 10 guys (not Stockton or Bird) started the All Star game that year. Isiah and Drexler were the other 2 starters

Mullin was, at the time, the perfect player for Euroball.

Tall, great shooter, good enough defender. He tied for the lead in team rebounding!
