Loy Vaught

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loy Stephen Vaught (born February 27, 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) was a basketball center who spent ten seasons in the NBA, primarily with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Vaught played at East Kentwood High School, in Kentwood, a suburb of Grand Rapids and helped lead the University of Michigan to the 1989 NCAA national championship.

Vaught was drafted in 1990 by the Los Angeles Clippers. For a short period in the mid 1990's, Vaught was one of the most consistent forwards in the league, averaging 16.2 points and approximately 10 rebounds per game while missing only four games between 1994 and 1997. Injuries sustained in 1997 hampered his career, and after that he never played more than 51 games in a season. Vaught closed out his career with a series of brief stints with the Detroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks, and Washington Wizards.
