Most of you peewees probably do not remember when he was a SUN ... albeit a short time. He was perhaps the craftiest PF in the league. He knew all the tricks of leverage. Not to mention a badass of the first order. Just what we needed then (and now). Was an instant fan favorite.

too young to go.

In the words of HST, he stomped on the terra.

Lucas was quite a guy. I don't remember him as a Sun though.

Bummer. Just heard about his death this morning.

He had a pretty good run with the Suns. In a franchise with a very weak history of true (tough guy) power forwards Mo Lucas was a notable and somewhat charismatic exception to the soft-Suns image. An enforcer with smarts.

The Suns with Lucas had one of their more unexpected playoff runs in '84. The 41-41 team upset their way to the WCFs, losing to the Lakers 4 games to 2.
