Cooper was the 1st drafted
Clifton was the 1st to sign a contract
Lloyd was the 1st to play in a game

However, all 3 were drafted in the same draft, signed contracts the same year, and played in a game within a few days of each other. So the distinction is not as clear cut as it was with Jackie Robinson in baseball.
Collecting John Stockton, Karl Malone, Ivan Rodriguez, Gary Carter & UF player rookie year cards.  Plus Jedd Gyorko rookie and prospect cards.
