He is on here. His efficiency was good but as said, his volume was nowhere near the top scorers of his era.
No, but volume isn't a be-all, end-all sort of thing. There are guys who scored more, but not all of them were actually superior offensive players.
Many were. Reggie had a team built right for him. Mark Jackson was among the best floor generals of his era and the Pacers never got out of the first round until the Davises and then MJack got there, which was Reggie's seventh season at age 28, that's compelling. He had teams that were more talented than most, having bigs in Smits (among the best Centers in the 90s), Person was a good high volume shooter, Schrempf was very good, McKey was also good two way player, Mitchell likewise, the Davises were very good defenders and rebounders, Micheal Williams was a solid PG and then Mark Jackson.
The way things were going before 1994 Reggie was looking like he was going to be known as a total non riser, unable to be on a winner. Jackson, the Davises and coaches Larry Brown and then Bird were the additions that coincided with better winning.
