Larry Foust, a 6'9" Center from LaSalle, has a strong case for induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, despite being largely forgotten today. Foust was drafted fifth overall by the Chicago Stags in 1950, but the team folded before he could play for them. He was then picked up by the Fort Wayne Pistons in the Dispersal Draft, where he quickly established himself as one of the best players in the league.

Foust averaged a double-double in his first five NBA seasons and was an All-Star in his first six. He was also an exceptional rebounder, finishing in the top ten in rebounds six times. Foust was twice named an All-NBA selection and led the league in shooting percentage in 1954-55.

In 1957, Foust was traded to the Minneapolis Lakers, where he earned his seventh and eighth All-Star selections and helped the team reach the 1959 Finals. He was then traded to the St. Louis Hawks during the 1959-60 season, where he finished his career after two years.

Despite his impressive resume, Foust has yet to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, making him the only player with eight All-Star selections to be snubbed by the Hall.
