Drafted: 5th by the Minnesota Timberwolves (1993) Another Cali product, J.R. also peaked in his first dunk contest, winning with a through-the-legs jam that ignited the Jordan whispers. But within two years, those whispers were replaced with the sound of Rider's boots battering a female bar manager, a shot that scored him an assault charge. Now his rap sheet's longer than his stat sheet. Marketing Jam: Umm... Chico's Bail Bonds endorsement? Abbott's Take: "On a good night, Rider was a beautiful thing to watch. But he didn't demonstrate even a basic commitment to winning or professionalism."
