High School Career
Downing led Providence Catholic to a third place finish in 1978 and eventually, a state championship in 1979 - as a junior! In ten state tournament games, scored 184 points and grabbed 80 rebounds. However, Downing was best known as a shot-blocker. In a 1978 state quarterfinal playoff game against Ottawa Marquette, he rejected a record 12 shots. Unfortunately, this stat was not always recorded.
Professional Career
Selected by Los Angeles Lakers in 6th round (#138 pick overall) of 1986 NBA Draft.
