Strengths
Taken one pick after his brother Dick in the 1965 draft the brothers played out a similar career trajectory. A good scorer throughout his career with a career mark at 15.3 PPG especially in his 6 prime seasons where he averaged just over 19 PPG. Similar to his brother Dick, had a good foul draw rate going to the line almost 5 times per game in his career and hitting them at a rate of 76% over his career. Good rebounder for a back court player at 4.2 RPG for his career and season best 6.5 in the 69-70 season. Was a great defender taking pride on shutting down opposing players. Good shooter with range.
Weaknesses
Not a good ability to steal the ball. No shot blocking ability whatsoever. Did not have the vision of his brother Dick with only 2.2 APG through his career. A perennial loser, did not make a single playoff appearance in his 11 year career.
Notes
3x All Star
As previously mention had an identical twin brother named Dick in the NBA. Both were drafted the same year and retired after the same season.
