Bailey Howell had already been to five All-Star Games (four with Detroit and one with Baltimore) before he arrived in Boston for the back nine of his career.  Howell wasn't putting the same numbers that he did before in Boston, but he was now on a more loaded team, and when you are a teammate of Bill Russell, you didn't have to lead the team in boards.  Howell was a strong presence in their NBA Championship wins in 1968 and 1969 and was chosen for his sixth All-Star the year before he won his first title.  Howell would average 18 Points and 8.4 Rebounds per Game with a 17.9 PER.
