Wow. That's impressive. I go back less than a decade...

From recent years, my favorite was Chris Crawford, who got injured twice right when he seemed to be putting it together.

Going back, I'm a fan of Randy Wittman.

I always wished Cal Bowdler was a better player than he turned out to be. He was always polite to Jaywalker and myself when I sit next to Jay at some of the games we went to.

Nice list. I'll never forget Truck Robinson helping us end the Lakers long winning streak in a big upset.

I don't have heights and colleges but here's some additions that I enjoyed watching. Not sure where to draw the line with "lessor". Guess I'll use as a standard, ones I don't hear mentioned. I'll leave out Pete since he was a superstar.

Lou Hudson

Walt Hazzard

Jimmy Washington

Bill Bridges

I don't think Sweet Lou qualifies as "lesser." He was the team's centerpiece for several years and should be in the Hall of Fame.

What was that one guy's name who hit like 8 threes in one game on a ten day contract to help us beat the Bullets when they had Webber? Henry James? That game was amazing.

Yup, Henry James. Here's the game:

Ah, Lenny Wilkens. The only guy who makes Woody look like he uses a deep bench...

I don't know what is scarier, the fact I remembered his name or that I remembered exactly his hitting eight threes.

[Wretch]

Cliff Livingston, Sasha Volkov, and.....

Kenny Smith! lol

[T21]

Scott Hastings, Antoine Carr, Cliff Levingston, John Battle, Mike McGee, John Koncak, Spud... that was our second unit back when I started lovin' our Hawks!

Lineup was Nique, Big Kev, Tree, Wittman and Doc...

NBA was somethin' else in those days, less commercial, less politicaly driven, almost free of f***in' agent-bloodsuckers...

Priest Lauderdale! He was like 7'4"... SHEED!!! :))))

Yeah, Rodney Monroe, I was certain this dude would light up the NBA off the bench, dude avg 27 pts his senior year; boy was I wrong.

Drew Barry is who you are thinking of, I think, Diesel?

Has anyone said Kenny "The Snake" Norman yet?

[Vol4ever]

Roshown McLeod

Hanno Mottola

Pepe Sanchez

Ed Gray (tennis ball head)

I watched Ed Gray play at TN, he could play on the college level, too small for the NBA as a SG

Nope and I think we got Snake from Milwaukee.
