1994 NBA Draft
Encyclopedia
The 1994 NBA Draft
took place on June 29, 1994 in Indianapolis, Indiana
. It is notable for the fact that two NBA rookies of the year were picked in the first round, as Jason Kidd
and Grant Hill
were co-winners of the award for the 1994–95 NBA season. Jason Kidd and Grant Hill would end up as perennial All-Stars (10 and 7-time selections, respectively), though Grant Hill's career has been marred by severe injuries.
The first overall pick Glenn Robinson
was involved in a contract holdout shortly after being selected, reportedly seeking an unprecedented 13 year, $100 million dollar contract. Both Robinson and the Milwaukee Bucks
eventually agreed on a 10 year, $68 million dollar contract, which stands as the richest NBA contract signed by a rookie. A fixed salary cap for rookies was implemented by the NBA the following season. Robinson himself had a productive NBA career, becoming a two-time NBA All-Star and winning an NBA Championship in 2005 in his final year with the San Antonio Spurs
