Undersized power forward at 6'4 but I think his skills would really translate to today's game. Discuss.

At first I was like; “why haven’t I heard of this guy?” Then google sorted me out.

My favorite Brad Lohaus moment is when he was playing for Iowa against Indiana in 1987. Iowa played a full court press and used Lohaus to guard the inbounds passer. Bob Knight had his player just peg Lohaus in the face with the ball (a tactic Knight had used previously in other games against Iowa).
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.

His ceiling is Bones McKinney with more range and worse defense, in my opinion. So not that great.

However, may I introduce you to point guard maestro Dick Dickey? Real underrated, too bad Red Auerbach kept him in his doghouse to favour unathletic white chucker Robert Cousy. If he had the chance, he could've been as good as Alfred McGuire, if not better.
