The only one of those players I have heard of is Carter, and I've only heard of him because he is an analyst for ESPN sometimes. Apparently there wasn't much talent on that team at all.

I thought Doug Collins was on that team too... I could be mistaken though.

Funny to think that just 4 years later they would make the finals and be the heavy favorites to win the Championship against the Blazers...
