One of the great power forwards of the 70’s and 80’s. Dan Roundfield could rebound and score but is most famous for his ability to defend.  One of the best shot blockers at his position, Roundfield earned first team All-NBA honors in 1980 and made three All-Star teams as well as being a perennial member of the All-Defensive team. Underrated and playing in the obscurity of Atlanta, only his peers really knew how good he was.
