While studying at San Diego State University , Slaughter worked for the Aztecs college team in NCAA Division I.

When he won the Championship of the Mountain West Conference in 2006, he was voted Most Valuable Player of the final tournament.

After the Conference Championship, Slaughter waived another college season and signed up directly for the NBA Draft , where he was not selected by any professional NBA club . In the summer of 2006 he also took part in the NBA Summer League wearing the Los Angeles Lakers jersey , but this did not result in a season contract with the NBA.

Then Slaughter moved to Europe as a professional and played in Izmir for Pınar Karşıyaka in the TBL . There the professional newcomer was able to draw attention to himself with good statistics in the form of a double-double on average for points and rebounds. In July 2007 he signed a long-term contract with the NBA club Miami Heat , which was however dissolved a day before the start of the season. Slaughter then went to Israel and played for Hapoel from Jerusalem in the Ligat ha'Al . At Hapoel he was dismissed in December 2007, so that in January 2008 he signed a contract with BCM Gravelines in Dunkirk , France , where he helped to secure relegation in the LNB Pro A.

For the 2008/09 season he moved to the German basketball league for the Eisbären Bremerhaven. The former participant in the play-offs for the German championship stumbled in that season and found himself almost always at the bottom of the table. In addition to his athletically spectacular style of play, Slaughter himself made headlines above all because the club separated from the player in November 2008 due to allegedly unprofessional behavior. The rumors about the alleged reason for the premature separation attracted international attention. Slaughter returned to the French Pro A and played in Le Havre for Saint Thomas Basket , who were also able to secure relegation with his help.
