I remember distinctly reading an NBA pre-season magazine before the 1968-69 season. In previewing the Baltimore Bullets, it said that Wes Unseld was a good player, but he was just too small to play center in the NBA. Well, they missed that one. All he did was to average 10.8 points and 14 rebounds per game over a 13-year career. In that first "too small" season, he was the Rookie of the Year and also the MVP of the NBA. Sometimes the experts are just flat wrong.
