Jake and Too Tall

Jake Yancey and Darius "Too Tall" Eason were two of the better centers to have played at Little Rock in my term as a fan. How good were they?

His last season (he did not play his final year), Jake averaged 6.4 ppg and 5.6 rpg and shot 55.4% from the field. In Too Tall's final year, he averaged 9.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg and shot 48.1% from the field, while blocking 48 shots.

In both cases, those are good, solid numbers, but certainly not All-Star stats. Their strength was in their consistency, and their consistent improvement over their careers.
