Kudos Joel Soriano

[espken]

Great info espken. Dove is one of my all-time favorite Johnnies. I wonder who hold the spots above him; probably Leroy Ellis & Mel Davis are up there.

1) Mel Davis 1970-71 436
2) LeRoy Ellis 1961-62 430
3) Mel Davis 1971-72 409
4) Tony Jackson 1958-59 401
5) Walter Berry 1985-86. 399
6) Bob Zawoluk 1951-52 397
7) Billy Paultz 1969-70 389
8) Sonny Dove 1965-66 369
9) Sonny Dove 1964-65 338
10) Joel Soriano 2022-23 336

Thanks, Tony Jackson & Zawoluk were both before my time following the Johnnies. I knew Zawoluk was a big man, didn't realize Tony Jackson was such an outstanding rebounder.

All but Jackson on that list are in the six ft seven inch to six ft eleven inch range. He measured six ft four which shows what a jumper he was.

Needs to be coached up to do so, therein lies the problem. Zendon never passed out of the post either so he's not a great tutor.

Zendon was the black hole: the ball went in to him and there was no way he was going to pass it out. Anthony Glover was a shorter version.

Curbelo is going to pass Hy Gotkin for the amount of chutzpah in a season. Oy!

 

[mjmaherjr]

A lot of shot misses over the next several games Soriano has a chance to move up that list rapidly. So at least we can take solace in that

Bill Wennington have a spot?

He actually didn't have high average so may not even be in top 20.
