Thanks for all the responses, but we had no correct answers. While it is true that in the 1994 GB/Cal game Gary Grzesk forced Jason Kidd into a terrible shooting night and held him 4 points below his average of 16 ppg, Kidd was not Cal's leading scorer that season.
Lamond Murray averaging a whopping 24.5 ppg that season, but was held to a 6-21 shooting game for 18 points by Eric Leduc. Murray was later a 1st round draft pick by the Clippers. Nice job Eric!

Congrats, lots of winners this week. Lots of our members knew Jeff Norgaard was drafted in the 2nd round by the Milwaukee Bucks. Jeff played 1 season with the Bucks before a long pro career in Europe. Lots of our members also knew that the Phoenix teammate of Jeff Norgaard's who also played in the NBA was Logan Vander Veldon. The Valders HS product played 1 season with the LA Clippers.
I'll update the leaderboard later this week.

The last Green Bay Phoenix center to garner all-conference recognition was Greg Babcock. Greg is now an attorny in the Green Bay area, and often attends Phoenix games. Ten points to Primetime and 5 points to gbphoenix1 for their correct answers.
The Phoenix all-time leading shotblocker is a bit of a surprise, because he was a wing player, it's high-flying Terry Evans. 10 points to gbphoenix1.
The only North Dakota HS product to play at least 100 games in the NBA actually played in the league for 11 seasons. However, he is much better known for his coaching career with the Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers. Hard to picture now, but the zenmaster, Phil Jackson, grew up in North Dakota. No points awarded. One guess of Mike Miller, but he was from South Dakota.
Next question to come in the early morning.
