RIP Robert 'Tractor' Traylor

Robert 'Tractor' Traylor, the 6th overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft who was at one point traded for Dirk Nowitzki, was found dead in his home yesterday at the age of 34. After 3 years at the University of Michigan, Traylor spent 7 seasons in the NBA with the Bucks, Cavaliers and Hornets. He averaged 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 438 career games. While at Michigan, he won the NIT MVP award in 1997 when leading the Wolverines to the title (which they have since vacated), and in 1998 he averaged a double double (16.2 points, 10.1 rebounds) while leading the Wolverines to the Big 10 Tournament Title.
