He was then drafted by the Knicks with the 17th overall pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, but he would last just one season in New York before getting traded to the Suns.
Mustaf’s NBA career ended after three seasons in Phoenix when he became engulfed in controversy following the murder of his pregnant girlfriend.
