Nicknamed “The Alaskan Assassin,” shooting guard Trajan Langdon was such a gifted athlete that he was drafted by the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball in the 6th round of the 1994 MLB Draft, before he even got to Duke. But while playing for Mike Krzyzewski, Langdon was a three-time first-team All-ACC selection.

But after three marginal seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, Langdon spent the vast majority of the rest of his pro hoops career playing overseas. In March 2016, he was named the assistant general manager of the Brooklyn Nets, serving in the role until May 2019, when he was named the general manager of the Pelicans.
