NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ernie DiGregorio

He was selected third overall by the Buffalo Braves in the 1973 NBA Draft, and won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 1973-74 after averaging 15.2 points and 8.2 assists per game.

He would never again come close to that level of production, but managed to have a decent NBA career, most of which he spent with the Braves. After playing 27 games with the Braves in the 1977-78 season, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, but DiGregorio played in a Lakers uniform in only 25 games before retiring at the season's conclusion.

He now works as a celebrity host at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
