Name: TJ Ford
Position: PG
Number: 11
DOB: March 24, 1983
Age when drafted: 20 (8th overall)
College: Texas
Hometown: Houston, Texas
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 165 lbs
STRENGTHS: TJ had incredible handles, quickness and hustle, which made some people think he could be a long term solution for teams at PG. Along with his PG fundamentals, he was also a reasonable threat to score, although he was never considered a top option on his NBA teams. For his size, he was a decent rebounder and was good at reading long rebounds (in the 05-06 season he averaged 4.3 rebounds per game).
WEAKNESSES: TJ was always the smallest guy on the court, weighing just 165lbs. While he was always active on the defensive end, and could keep his man in front of him using his quickness, he would not become a top defender due to his lack of size. Other large guards regularly shot over top of TJ, or used their strength advantage to muscle their way into a closer scoring position. Was not a good 3 point shooter, averaging just 1.0 3pt attempts per game on 29% for his career.
SIGNIFICANT INFO:
- Career Average: 11.2 ppg, 3.1 rbg, 5.8 apg, 1.2 spg, 0.1 bpg
- Best Season: 14.0 ppg, 3.1 rbg, 7.9 apg, 1.3 spg, 0.1 bpg
- Career marred by serious injuries, including a nasty tailbone injury, he ultimately retired at 28 after suffering a spinal injury in a game in 2012.
