Every California State University, Fullerton player drafted by Lakers

[ASFN Admin]

California State University, Fullerton, hasn't produced a ton of NBA players, but a star forward from the 1990s named Cedric Ceballos spent two years there. After he spent his first four pro seasons with the Phoenix Suns as a second-round draft pick in 1990, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1994 and helped lead their resurgence.

He averaged 20.9 points and 7.3 rebounds a game in two seasons and change with the Lakers before they sent him back to Phoenix, and he was named to the All-Star team in 1995.

The Lakers have drafted two other members of the Titans over the years. Here is a look at both of them.

Ricky Mixon -- guard​

Mixon averaged 14.4 points a game in two years with the Titans and was taken by the Lakers in the seventh round of the 1983 NBA Draft. He never played in the NBA.

Tony Neal -- forward​

Neal, a native of Santa Ana in Orange County, spent four years with the Titans and averaged 11.3 points and 9.5 rebounds a game during that time. After the Lakers selected him in the sixth round of the 1985 draft, he never played in the NBA.
