The identical twin of Dick Van Arsdale, Tom Van Arsdale played with his brother at the University of Indiana, where he impressed enough to be drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1965. He was decent enough with the Pistons, but in his third year, Van Arsdale was traded to the Cincinnati Royals, where he had his best run.
From 1969-70 to 1971-72, Van Arsdale was named to the All-Star Team and averaged over 22 Points per Game in those first two years. It was productive for Van Arsdale, but his respective team was not very good like in Detroit. Van Arsdale later played for Kansas City, Philadelphia, Atlanta and one last year in Phoenix where he played with his twin.
Despite playing 929 Regular Season Games with a 15.3 PPG, Van Arsdale never appeared in a playoff game.
