Terrell Brandon (1970)
“Tee Bee” was the 11th overall pick in the 1991 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brandon spent his first six seasons with the Cavs, really breaking out in his final two years in Cleveland. The point guard made his first of two straight All-Star appearances in 1995, finishing 16th in MVP voting as well. In those final two years with the Cavaliers, Brandon averaged 19.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. That’s why Milwaukee made him their starting point guard in 1997.
He was later part of a blockbuster trade in 1998 that included Stephon Marbury and Sam Cassell, spending his final four years with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brandon officially retired in 2003, averaging 13.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
