gold star for USAHOF

40. Behn Wilson

40. Behn Wilson
A strong and imposing force, Behn Wilson was the 7th overall pick of the 1978 Draft and his combination of skill and size made him perfect for a Philadelphia fanbase.  Wilson racked up a lot of penalty minutes often acting as the team’s enforcer but he could playmake too as he never had less than 20 Assists in a season peaking with 47 in his All Star 1980/81 Season.  He would also finish 5th in Defensive Point Shares that year.
