In 1991-92, he ranked in the top five among rookie players in both scoring (13.3 points per game) and assists (2.5 per game). However, he also a achieved a special milestone March 23, 1992. At 8:17 p.m. in a game against the Golden State Warriors, Augmon, on a driving layup in the second quarter, scored the NBA's 6,000,000th all-time point.
