Age when drafted: 22
College: University of Michigan
Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 230
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
Roy Tarpley was a beast on the boards averaging 10 rebounds a game for his brief career. Excellent post defender that did the dirty work not a huge numbers guy but over a steal and block a game. Played with force and his 3 1/2 fouls per game show that he was not willing to let guys get to the rim. High percentage from the field in part because he rarely shot outside of the post. Above average Free Throw shooter for a big guy, 74% for his career.
WEAKNESSES:
Alcohol and drugs! If he could have been able to get control of his addictions he might have been able to crush faces in the post for years. He even sued the Mavs and NBA after he was banned claiming that their refusal to reinstate him violated the Americans with Disabilities Act because his addiction was a disability. Not much range, inside or bust type player. Foul trouble.
SIGNIFICANT INFO:
1986-87 NBA All-Rookie (1st)
1987-88 NBA Sixth Man of the Year
