He played five years in the association totaling for 290 NBA games. First two seasons he spent as part of the Portland Trail Blazers. After not playing much in Portland he was traded to New Jersey Nets during the '90-'91 season. As a member of Nets he showed why he was regarded as one of the best europeans that played the game.
