When you think of selfless Point Guards of the 1970s, Kevin Porter has to be one of the first names that comes to mind, but since he did not play with any contender with the exception of the 1975 Washington Bullets, he isn’t in that conversation.

Playing collegiately at Saint Francis where his number was eventually retired, Porter would lead the NBA four times in Assists, averaging 8.1 over his career.  Porter was also an excellent defender, recording six years of at least 1.4 Steals per Game. 

Len “Truck” Robinson fit his nickname and could very well be the very definition of a power forward.  He was a “truck” underneath, using his incredible strength to dominate.  A great rebounder Truck also had the ability to score and developed a great mid range game.  Injuries limited his career totals and this will hurt his chances, however fans of the NBA before the Bird-Magic liftoff remember how dominant he could be.

Jeff Malone was just another pedestrian shooting guard who will never get in though he scored over 17,000 points at a 19 point per game average.  If you look at the previous entry, the Hall of Fame just does not like shooters.

Gus Williams had a very solid career in the NBA highlighted by being a member of back to back NBA finalists in Seattle. “The Wizard” as he was known, teamed with Hall of famer Dennis Johnson in the Sonic backcourt.  Williams was not just a key member of the team that won a title in ‘79, he was the catalyst.  He averaged 28.6 points a game in the final to lead Seattle to an upset over the Washington Bullets.
