Old timer, I would take it a step further. I’m my nearly sixty years as a Peacock fan, Harry Laurie is the best player I have ever seen in an SP uniform. To me, he was a player who could do it all at an extremely high level.

dreamweaver.....agree entirely. Check out the Roster and stats of the Allentown Jets ( '70/'71 ) they had a great team with eventual NBA players like Eddie Mast and others. Even had Seton Hall great, Nick Workman as a bench player. Harry was a star there also with a record number of assists.
Another player very under appreciated was Richie Rinaldi. Trivia... A lanky 6'4" , a great great shooter and scorer could shoot from deep with anyone and/or drive to the basket and elevate Drafted by the Baltimore Bullets. In his first NBA game, opening night, scored, I believe, 27 or so points due to injuries to the eventual starters Archie Clark and Phil Chanier. That's in the NBA ! Later became a super star in Europe for several years. As Latigo knows there is a podcast featuring Richie several years ago. It was very Interesting. He was that good with quite a career at a very high level... yet sort of under appreciated as an all time great.
PS We all have our favorites but Harry and Richie, as overall basketball players, were my favorites. No slight intended to all the other greats.

Coach, exactly right. I watched that, the Youtube videos of KeeKee and his insane range and Coach Kennedy sit down interview. All very informative.
