Mario Bennett - My nephew and I use to make fun of his player model on NBA Live 98.

Danny Granger had a fairly decent peak in the late 00s, o think he finished top 10 in scoring one year. Looks like he retired young and no one really mentions him.

Jesus, it seems like he played for a different team every 6 weeks.

Lou Roe
Walter Herrman
Andy Panko (1 minute played for the Hawks)

I really liked Herrmann's game. He probably had one of the most efficient shooting seasons for a rookie in recent history. Think Desmond Bane is probably the closest to match it. Always liked his Dr. J style layups he'd randomly pull off, too.

For those who haven't been witness to the glory.

I believe Lou Roe set the record for least amount of letters in his first and last name in NBA history. Why do I know that and not actual useful information?

Still a bit of a Hermann (fabio) fan club on the Hornets board owing to his Bobcat days.

Made me think of Chuck Nevitt, a giant stiff who was the 12th man on the Showtime Laker teams.

Oh, Eric Leckner and Walt Palmer.
