 Prior to the draft, the league conducted a coin flip between the Hornets and the Heat to decide their draft order in this expansion draft and in the 1988 NBA draft.
 The Hornets won the coin flip and chose to have the higher pick in the 1988 Draft, thus allowing the Heat to receive the first selection and the right to select twelve players in this expansion draft.

 After the season, he was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves as the 16th pick in the NBA Expansion Draft.
 After his selection, he said: "I'm a little stunned right now.
 I thought I'd be taken by Orlando because I'd heard some things.

 That's the kind of year I had.
 I'll make the best of the situation.
 I look forward to getting out there and meeting with the coach.
 I don't even know who it is."
