Jamal Johnson had 3-4 really great games that bumped up his averages. Jeff Harris was the best player on the team in the year he played. He's been hyped a lot more than he deserves.

Willie is longetivity, being a head case, and some misconceptions about his play. Great shot blocker, average defender. Good dunker, below average otherwise on offense. Loe gets credit for better all around game, longetivity and consistency, and playing on better teams. He also hit some really clutch shots to win games.

Loe and Evans don’t get enough credit for clearing / sealing off the lane & allowing Jett to get to the hoop so often without a big there to contest.  Jett was 100x better finisher than Collins, but he also had a lot more help from his big men.
