Gilhooley, Peckinpaugh, Baker, Pratt, Pipp, and Bodie. This sextet has been
hammering the offerings of all comers.“

versatile because of what he can give you from that position. It's not just
his scoring, not just his rebounding or not just his blocked shots. People
don't realize he was in the top seven in steals. He always made great
decisions on the court. For all facets of the game, I have to give it to him.
