Slater played in eight NBA seasons for the Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Jersey Nets and Atlanta Hawks from 1994–1999 and 2000–2003.[2] Over the course of his NBA career, Slater played in 259 games and scored a total of 1,450 points and averaged 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.[3] His best NBA season came during the 1997–98 NBA season as a member of the Raptors, where he appeared in 78 games and averaged 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 21.3 minutes per game, all career bests except for blocks. As a result, more than 43 percent of his NBA career scoring and more than 30 percent of his NBA career games played totals came during that season.[4]
