While Brandon was an All-Rookie selection in 1991-92, he didn’t become a full-time starter until midway through his third season. He did OK once he did though, earning two All-Star nods.

He was second in the NBA in free-throw shooting in 1996-97 and third in 1995-96.

In a huge three-team trade in September 1997, Brandon was sent with Tyrone Hill and a first-round pick in 1998 to the Milwaukee Bucks, with Sherman Douglas coming back from the Bucks and Shawn Kemp acquired from the Seattle SuperSonics.

In six seasons with Cleveland, Brandon averaged 12.7 points, 4.9 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.6 minutes per game, shooting .446/.360/.868.

Brandon was part of another three-team swap in March 1999, going to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In July 2003, he was sent to the Atlanta Hawks in a four-team trade—although he hadn’t played in a game since 2002 because of injuries.

He retired in March 2004 after being waived by Atlanta in February.

He is 19th in NBA history with a free-throw percentage of .873.
