You get two guesses...who was this player?

[tcjkbt]

Is he from UNC or not?

[Pioneer.Pride]

McAdoo had gaudy statistics and played before the 3 point line I belive. He was the best perimeter shooting big man I can remember.

If it's Doo, yes.

 

Edit. I'm recusing myself, I've gotta look it up.:banghead:

Yep, it was McAdoo. Probably one of the more underrated NBA players. At his best he was GREAT.

Not too many UNC bigs to choose from so....

 

I picture Mc in his light blue Buffalo Braves uni running with the good guard who I think was named Randy Smith.

McAdoo also played at Vincennes University before UNC. Very cool seeing his UNC jersey in the wall at VU.

Since Vincennes was Juco then I believe, would that make Mac an early "one and done?"

Correct, Vincennes is JUCO, NJCAA D1. JUCO has 3 divisions like NCAA.

Loved McAdoo, and being a Lakers fan then, I feel he was a key piece to their run from '82 to '85.

 

I would add another forgotten great at PF with similar numbers. The Big E. elvin Hayes.
