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 fewer 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.
