[What Would Jesus Do?]

Taking AJ's top 3 and rounding them into a starting 5 with 2 more from the 60s. On the short side compared to today's top teams, but look at their best single-year numbers. Don't forget that this was before the 3pt shot AND before the shot clock.

Player	Hgt	Best PPG	Best RPG
Charlie Scott	6'5	27.1	8.6
Bobby Lewis	6'3	27.4	8.0
Larry Miller	6'5	22.4	10.3
Billy Cunningham	6'6	26.0	15.8
Rusty Clark	6'10	15.8	11.0
Totals		118.7	53.7
