re: "Who was as good as Pete Maravich?"

His name was Gary Simpson and he averaged 34 ppg. He was 6'1" and from Granite City, IL. Tough kid, tough life. Magician with the ball.

Averaged 14.4 as a sophomore but only played 24 games before getting in trouble with his grades and losing his 2S draft deferment and getting drafted into the US army.

I think he played ball in the army and then played one non-productive year at St Louis averaging 4.1 ppg.

Died in the late 70's or early 80's of leukemia.
