Small Forward: Adrian Dantley
Get out of here with your Gordon Hayward nonsense–Adrian Dantley was the focal point of the Utah Jazz offense for seven years and twice led the NBA in scoring. This came during a stretch of four consecutive seasons in which AD averaged 30-plus PPG.
He also represented the team in six All-Star games and was twice named to the All-NBA second team. In other words, the NBA recognized Dantley as a top-ten player in the league. I can’t imagine this caliber of player ever being left off of a list like this.
At only six-foot-five and 200 pounds, Dantley is also perhaps the ultimate example of overcoming one’s lack of size.
