Memphis State’s William Bedford defends against Villanova’s Dwayne McClain during the 1985 Final Four.The Phoenix Suns drafted Bedford sixth overall in 1986. His NBA career lasted six seasons, including an NBA championship run with the Detroit Pistons in 1990. He would last appear in an NBA game in late 1992.
Since then, he’s worked as a car salesman at Memphis-area dealerships and tried to find a guidance program that was right for him, he said. Wilson will soon start a job with the City of Memphis. The program doesn’t guarantee city jobs for attendees but does give some the option. Wilson will work for the city’s solid waste division. He’s excited for his first real job in decades.
