Super Mario Bennett only played in 68 games over three years in his NBA career and offered little more to the Suns than being an Arizona State product.
While no star himself, Eric Snow played 13 seasons in the Association, and he was a decent point guard. Many will remember him as the starting point alongside Allen Iverson with Philadelphia, and later LeBron James in Cleveland. The second round of the draft didn’t offer much depth or talent, and Snow was the best of the bunch.
