A 200-pound, 6'5" shooting guard from the University of Minnesota, Bond was not drafted by an NBA team but did manage to play in 3 NBA seasons.

In his NBA career, Bond played in 153 games, and scored a total of 873 points. He scored 590 points in 1 season with the Dallas Mavericks, 273 points in two seasons with Utah Jazz, and 10 points in one season with the Detroit Pistons[1] On November 10, 1992, in just his second professional game in the NBA, he scored a career high 25 points as a Maverick against the Minnesota Timberwolves. His single game scoring stats declined for the rest of his 151 NBA games.
