Evan Eschmeyer: Lawyer
Evan Eschmeyer was drafted in 1999 and spent four years with the New Jersey Nets. Owing to his knee issues, however, it was not easy for him to get playing time, and he only appeared in 153 games and scored 421 points. In 2004 his knee eventually forced him to retire. He then returned to the University of Northwestern, where he played basketball in college, and enrolled in the highly competitive JD-MBA program, receiving both an MBA and a law degree. Since then, Eschmeyer has worked as a lawyer, as an entrepreneur and as Atlas Tower’s Director of Finance.

Jonathan Bender: Medical Device Mogul
In the 1999 draft, Jonathan Bender was the 5th overall selection, making the jump straight out of high school into the NBA. Sadly, his physical prowess and 7-foot frame was a high school suit, but the NBA was an entirely different league. Jonathan decided to retire early and developed a medical device to relieve the knee pain he suffered with. He hoped his JBIT MedPro (also known as JB Intensive Trainer) would benefit other athletes as well as himself. The pain-relieving medical device in turn improves training, rehab, recovery, and physical therapy.
