Voskuhl was another in a long list of Great White Hopes to suit up in purple, red and white for the Toronto Raptors.

He was a part of the 1999 NCAA champion UConn Huskies team who was then drafted in the second round of the NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls.

He was on the same UConn team as Richard Hamilton who ended up being a three-time NBA all-star and won the 2004 NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons.

Back then, if you were on an NCAA championship team you would get a better look at playing in the NBA.

Meanwhile, the last two players selected with the No. 1 overall pick (Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons) never even led their schools into the NCAA tournament.

Voskuhl was one of the least athletic players to ever wear a Raptors jersey.

He was a big body who took up plenty of space underneath the basket but had zero ability on the offensive side of the floor.

Voskuhl played in 38 games for the Raptors (with one start) and averaged 0.9 points per game for Toronto.

He ended up playing nine years in the NBA but his time in Toronto was his last in the league.
