Stanley Roberts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanley Corvet Roberts (born February 7, 1970, in Hopkins, South Carolina) is an American former professional basketball player who was selected by the Orlando Magic in the 1st round (23rd overall) of the 1991 NBA Draft. Roberts played for the Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers in 8 NBA seasons. His best year as a pro came during his second year in the league as a member of the Clippers, when he appeared in 77 games and averaged 11.3 ppg. He played collegiately at Louisiana State University.

He missed all but 14 games in the 1993-94 season, then all of the next season, due to an Achilles-Tendon injury, first in one leg, then the other. Amazingly, he still bounced back for three more respectable seasons.

As a member of the Sixers in 1999, he was kicked out of the NBA for drug violations.
