Rich Niemann was a Carolina Cougar in their inaugural season of '69-70. Saw him play many games in the Greensboro Coliseum that year. From checking his career stats, I didn't realize he was a Celtics castoff, and that he played another year after his stint with the Cougars ended.

I remember listening to Cougar games when Barry Orms was playing for the Pittsburgh Condors. When listening to those games, it seemed like he never could make a shot.

Props to Willie for getting some NBA run.

NBA site doesn't list any games played in career except 2 this year. I thought he had made it on a NBA team before. maybe on but never played? anyway bully for Willie

Congrats Willie - he was on the active roster for a few teams - Grizzlies/Kings - but he never dressed for a game.

Was one the Pistons?

According to my 5-second Google search, no, Detroit was not one of his preseason landing spots. They were Milwaukee (1992), Minnesota (1994), Seattle (1995), and Toronto (1996).
