Jonathan Bender was part of the high-school-to-pro’s wave we saw in the late 1990’s, as the Toronto Raptors took him with the 10th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, and promptly traded his rights to the Indiana Pacers. Bender showed flashes of potential at times, but never really materialized into anything but a role player.

The biggest highlights of his career were the two appearances he made in the NBA’s dunk contest. Bender currently works as a private basketball coach in the Houston area, as part of the “CoachUp” program, for which former NBA player Joe Smith is also a member.
