On this day in 1994, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Purdue forward Glenn Robinson with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, before a crowd of 19,833 at the Hoosier-Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Robinson played two seasons for the Boilermakers before making the jump to the NBA. He was named the 1994 National College Player of the Year after averaging 30.3 points, which led the country, and 10.1 rebounds as a sophomore.
Robinson averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 80 games played as a rookie with the Bucks. He led all rookies in scoring in his first season but would eventually finish third in the Rookie of the Year voting, behind Jason Kidd and Grant Hill, who shared the award.
Robinson played 11 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2005 and eventually became a two-time All-Star and champion with the San Antonio Spurs. He is the father of Philadelphia 76ers forward Glen Robinson III.
