One of the great power forwards of the 70’s and 80’s. Dan Roundfield could rebound and score but is most famous for his ability to defend.  One of the best shot blockers at his position, Roundfield earned first team All-NBA honors in 1980 and made three All-Star teams as well as being a perennial member of the All-Defensive team. Underrated and playing in the obscurity of Atlanta, only his peers really knew how good he was.

Willie Naulls had decent career numbers, finishing a very respectable 15.8 Point and 9.1 Rebound per Game Average.  He was a four-time All-Star and three-time NBA champion and he was one of the best ever to come from college basketball giant powerhouse that was UCLA.

Professionally, Naulls went to his four All-Stars with the New York Knicks, and in 1959-60 and 1960-61 he received MVP votes.  Traded to the San Francisco Warriors in 1962, his contract was sold to the juggernaut that was the Boston Celtics where he provided depth, and won three consecutive NBA Championships to close his career.

The Cal Ripken of basketball with 1192 consecutive games played, A.C. Green’s hopes of enshrinement rely on amazing consistency and ability to do whatever it takes for the good of the team.  A star out of college winning PAC-10 player of the year at Oregon State, Green came to the Lakers and immediately developed a role as the power forward who would bang down low, grab boards, and show up for work every day.  12,000 career points and almost 10,000 rebounds as well as the being the only player to play on both Magic and Shaq’s championship teams don’t hurt.  Oh and did we mention that he was never in competition for chicks with Magic?

The second best player ever to come from Louisville, Darrell Griffith led Coach Denny Crum’s Cardinals to their first National Title and was the National Player of the Year in 1980.  Griffith had incredible leaping ability and used this to finish plays with style.  He also was a potent jump shooter though he never became the superstar many thought he would be out of college.  Griffith still had a very solid NBA career but was overshadowed by his great career at Louisville.
