After 10 NBA seasons Charles "Bo" Outlaw is still a bottle of energy waiting to be unleashed at the defensive end and the boards. Wherever he's played (Los Angeles. Clippers, Orlando and Phoenix), the 6-8 forward has made his presence felt with his hustle and non-stop energy... While not known as a scorer (6.2 ppg average), he has a career field goal percentage of .575 and would place him fourth on the all-time NBA chart, but he is shy of the minimum qualifying standards... Overlooked in the 1993 NBA Draft, Outlaw played in the Continental Basketball Association before being signed by the Clippers to the first of two consecutive 10-day contracts on Feb. 14, 1994 and has been in the league ever since... After four productive seasons in L.A., Outlaw signed a free agent deal with Orlando in the summer of 1997 and had his most productive season in '97-98, averaging 9.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.65 blocks and ranked second in the NBA with a .554 field goal percentage... In a move to clear salary cap room Orlando completed a three-team trade that sent Outlaw and a future first round pick to Phoenix, swingman Jud Buechler to the Magic and guard Vinny Del Negro to L.A. Clippers. 2002-03 Played in 80 games this season with 20 starts... Started 20 games and team was 12-8 in those games... Averaged 6.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg, .583 FG, 30.9 mins in his starts...
