  Isaiah Rider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rider was taken by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 5th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft.
Rider (who inexplicably took to calling himself "Isiah" again upon his arrival in Portland) also toned down his off-court act slightly in his three seasons in the Rose City, though he was not a model citizen, either.
Still, the Atlanta Hawks felt Rider was the missing piece in their puzzle after the 1998-99 season, and so they sent Steve Smith to the Blazers for Rider and Jim Jackson, another talent who had not quite reached his potential.

Late last month, Los Angeles Lakers player Isiah Rider refused to submit to drug tests required by the league's drug after-care program, saying he should not have been assigned to it because a drug incident at an Orlando hotel was not conclusively linked to him.
Rider, who had been arrested for marijuana possession four years ago, was then ordered into the league's drug program, which would require him to undergo testing and counseling.
Rider accused teammates Dikembe Mutombo and LaPhonso Ellis of snitching on him, but now claims that his alleged drug use was not established as fact, the Los Angeles Times reported.

My favorite part of the interview was when Silas asked what he wants everyone in the league to know out there and he responded with something like "I hope you have the heart to tell your SG that he just lost his starting position".
He seemed lost at most times and didn't look like the Isiah Rider that was the key element at one point in time for the success of the Blazers.
I don't see any team taking a chance on him cause of his past and the fact that he hasn't played in 2 years and no one knows what he's going to be like.
