The
1995 NBA draft took place on June 28, 1995 at
SkyDome in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. It marked the first NBA draft to be held outside the United States and was the first draft for the two Canadian expansion teams,
Toronto Raptors and
Vancouver Grizzlies.
Kevin Garnett, who was taken fifth in this draft, is notable for being the first player in two decades to be selected straight out of
high school, and will be a certain
Basketball Hall of Fame inductee after retirement.
Rasheed Wallace and
Jerry Stackhouse also had successful careers, being four-time and two-time All-Stars respectively. Wallace won an NBA championship in 2004 with the
Detroit Pistons, while Stackhouse scored the most total points in the league in 2000, also with the Pistons.
