Timeline
Dennis Eugene Scott Jr. (born September 5, 1968) is an American former professional basketball player.
Flint Hill Prep finished ranked first in the nation Scott's senior year (1987) as ranked by USA Today.
In his junior year at Flint Hill Prep, his team finished ranked second in the nation by USA Today and first as ranked by Blue Ribbon yearbook.
Given his size, strength, shooting ability, and quickness Scott played every position at one time or another during his high school career.
Scott had an excellent college career for the Yellow Jackets, leading them to the NCAA Tournament each year that he played.
During his junior season, 1989–90, he led the Yellow Jackets on to win the ACC Tournament Championship.
He was named ACC Player of the Year.
He also led the team to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament that season, falling to eventual champion, UNLV.
He entered the NBA Draft after his junior season, foregoing his senior year.
A 6ft 8in small forward from Georgia Tech, and the 1990 ACC Men's Basketball Player of the Year, Scott was selected by the Orlando Magic with the fourth pick of the 1990 NBA draft after being the leading scorer on a Yellow Jackets team that made the Final Four, and comprising one portion of Georgia Tech's "Lethal Weapon 3" attack featuring Scott, Kenny Anderson and Brian Oliver.
Scott played for Coach Stu Vetter at Flint Hill in Oakton, Virginia.
Until the drafting of Shaquille O'Neal in 1992, Scott and Nick Anderson were the leading scorers for the Magic.
On his record-breaking shot, the assist came from teammate and the holder of the record, Brian Shaw (he made 10 three-pointers on April 8, 1993).
In 1995–96 Scott set an NBA single-season three-point field goal tally with 267 (which was broken ten years later by Ray Allen).
He also set the then NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single game, with 11 on April 18, 1996.
Scott was involved in a controversy after an incident at a Virginia summer camp in which he ranted and played explicit rap music in front of a crowd of bewildered children in 1997.
Scott had been traded to the Mavericks after a tumultuous off-season where Scott, frustrated over playing for the Magic as well as with the Magic organization, had a meltdown at a Summer camp event he was a guest at for children, blaring music with explicit lyrics and throwing thinly-veiled insults at the Magic organization.
Midway through the 1997–98 season, the Mavericks traded Scott to the Phoenix Suns for Cedric Ceballos.
He also played for the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves (1998–99) and the Vancouver Grizzlies (1999–2000).
Scott did not play in the 2000–01 NBA season after being cut by the Washington Wizards in training camp.
In 2001, he attempted an NBA comeback with the Los Angeles Lakers (with ex-Orlando teammates Shaquille O'Neal and Brian Shaw) but due to the abundance of veteran talent already on the roster, the Lakers decided to go with another player and cut Scott after training camp.
Currently Scott serves as a commentator for Turner Sports.
Scott has also served as general manager of the Atlanta Vision of the American Basketball Association.
A list of Scott's career statistics:
In 2002, Scott was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team honoring the 50 greatest players in ACC History.

In 2008, Jay Bilas ranked his personal shooters in NCAA history and Scott was #1 on his list.
In addition to his seven-year career with Orlando, Scott also spent short stints with other teams.
