Played for the Lakers from 1991 to 1996


Threatt has the distinction of being the last sixth round pick to play in the NBA, as the NBA draft has since been shortened to two rounds. He was traded from Seattle to the Los Angeles Lakers on October 2, 1991 in exchange for three second round draft picks. Threatt was expected to play a back up role to Magic Johnson, however when Johnson retired due to his infection with HIV, Threatt became the starting point guard. Threatt led the Lakers in assists, steals and minutes played each of his first two seasons with the Lakers. In 1992-93 he became the second player in Laker franchise history (joining Magic) to lead the Lakers in scoring (15.1), assists (6.9) and steals (1.7.) He scored a career high 42 points against the New York Knicks on 03/10/92 and scored a career playoff high 35 points in Game 1 of the 1993 Western Conference Quarter Finals against the Phoenix Suns.

Threatt lost his position in the starting line up when Nick Van Exel was drafted and played off the bench for the Lakers from 1994-1996. In 1996-1997 he played 21 games for the Houston Rockets after a brief stint in France. He then went on to play for a Greek team Larissa.

He is currently in Australia running Elite Basketball camps for AND1.
