Who am I?

July-September are my sports-hell months because I dont care for baseball and that's all there is until college football starts. With the NFL and NBA lockouts, this summer's sports-hell is especially bad. So maybe this is a dumb game, but whatever....I'm just hoping to have stuff to read in the Utah Jazz forum.

Game Rules:
Give a few key details about a player that has played for the New Orleans/Utah Jazz at one point during his career and ask "Who am I". The first person to answer correctly goes next and so on. Obviously my hope would be that google not be used....I wanna see who the Jazz historians are on this board. Good luck!

Here goes:
I was one of the best players in the SEC in the early 1980's and was a starter on a Kentucky Finals Four Team. I was a #6 overall pick and the Utah Jazz was one of the stops on my brief NBA tour. Although I was a promising prospect, I struggled with my weight and turned out to be a disappointment in a draft that produced some of the best players of all-time.

Who am I?

I am over 7 feet tall and was taken by the Jazz in the second round (33rd) overall. I only lasted 2 years in the NBA between Utah and Dallas. My true claim to fame is my Ivy league education prior to being drafted by the Jazz….who am I?

I played for both New Orleans and the Utah Jazz. I may be the best center either jazz team had except for Mark Eaton!

I'm a Center from a land with great food and hot women and I could hit the three consistently before I got hurt. Rich Kelley can't smell my jock strap. Who am I?

I'm sorry, the answer was Eric Leckner. I thought the land with hot women would give it away.
