NBA Playing Career

The Atlanta Hawks picked Augmon as the ninth player in the 1991 NBA draft. He was one of the first top draft picks to sign a contract. His first deal was for five years, worth between $6.5 and $7 million. On January 3, 1995, Augmon scored his highest career points in a single game, with 36 points. This happened during a game where the Hawks lost to the Trail Blazers 103–98.

During his NBA career, Augmon played for several teams. These included the Atlanta Hawks, the Detroit Pistons, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Charlotte Hornets, the New Orleans Hornets, and the Orlando Magic. He played for 15 seasons in the NBA. Over his entire career, he averaged 8.0 points per game.

The Orlando Magic did not sign Augmon again for the 2006–07 NBA season. This made him a free agent, meaning he could sign with any team. On October 3, 2007, the Denver Nuggets signed him. However, they let him go on October 24. A month later, the Nuggets hired Augmon again, but this time as a player development coach.
