The Mavericks took Roy Tarpley with the 7th pick in the first round of the 1986 NBA Draft. He played in 280 games (57 starts) for the Mavericks in his career averaging 26.7 minutes, 12.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocked shots per game. Tarpley had big problems with drugs throughout his career which ended way too soon. Tarpley would have been a NBA star if he could have just stayed off the sauce. What a waste of talent.
