"He'll be a real force in three or four years," NBA superscout Marty Blake said about Rik when he was the second player drafted (after Danny Manning) in 1988. After only two years, those words are already true. Rik played in every regular-Season game in 1989-90, led the Pacers in blocked shots, finished 2nd in rebounding and 4th in scoring, and shot excellent percentages from the floor and the foul line. Nicknamed "The Dunking Dutchman," is the tallest player in Pacer history.
