Ed Macauley's greatest accomplishment was being traded for Bill Russell.
I would say his greatest accomplishment is being an NBA HAll of Famer. However, your point is well taken. He must have been damn good to be traded for Bill Russell who lead USF to 2 NCAA titles.
It doesn't work like that. Wilt was once traded for Paul Neumann, Connie Dierking, Lee Shaffer.
I don't look at everyone from yesteryear and automatically assume they can't play in the modern era like some people do.
For instance stars like Arizin and Dolph Schayes are legit, IMO, because they succeeded after the shot clock, when teams started running up and down the floor, playing at a faster tempo than the current Golden State Warriors.
But Ed McCauley was a rail-thin post player.
Glad everyone was so excited about my pick because this draft has been a bit boring. Easy Ed livened it up. I dont care if the guy can play today. That wasnt the purpose of this draft in my mind. Anyway.. cheers. Over and OUT.
