James Cotton (basketball)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Wesley Cotton (born December 14, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) is an American professional basketball player who had a brief career in the NBA.
Cotton, a 6' 5" shooting guard, left Long Beach State early and was selected with the fourth pick of the 2nd round (32nd overall) in the 1997 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. His rights were then traded to the Seattle SuperSonics in a swap for the draft rights to Bobby Jackson. He was used sparingly by the Sonics over two seasons until he and Hersey Hawkins were involved in a player trade to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Brent Barry on August 12, 1999. Cotton was waived by the Bulls prior to the commencement of the 1999-2000 NBA season. He has also played with the West Sydney Razorbacks in the Australian National Basketball League.
