Most surprising? Matt Bullard.

Most surprising for me is Ricky Davis. He was talented but there are a lot of talented players. There's no way I thought he would play any games in the NBA after only one season at Iowa. And he played in 736? Unbelievable.

Brad Lohaus had a good run to. You have to really wonder what happen to Roy Marble. You'd think his game was made for the NBA. It's odd how some players stick in that league & others don't. Like how Matt Bullard and Ryan Bowen had such a good run.

Roy was not a great ballhandler and his range wasn't great, and for his size, those become filters for those who last and those who don't. It can also be as random as to what team a guy gets drafted to, and the personnel on the team at the time. On this latter point, I don't know if that applied to Roy or not.

I think Bullard making it portends well for Uthoff. There are places in the NBA for long guys who can shoot from distance. That will be his key to making it, I think.

I knew BJ missed some games later in his career but I'd have thought he played more then Evans and been further ahead of Davis then he is... His first 4 or 5 years in the league I'm not sure he even missed more then a game or two.

 

[Knight78]

Most surprising to me is Ryan Bowen. Yeah, he was "Charlie Hustle" and managed to come up with a lot of 50-50 balls and was a good defender against 2, 3, and 4... but his offensive skills were less than mediocre for the league.

Ryan Bowen. And it is not even close. Dude played 11 years in the league and he is probably collecting a NBA pension. He was athletic, but he wasn't white dude Tom Chambers, Dan Marjle athletic, just.straight up dunkin on guys. You scratch your head and say that guy played 11 years in the league.
