Jerry Lucas - how soon we forget

Time dulls our memory as to how good certain players were. I remember Jerry Lucas in the NBA, but I was too young to take notice when he was in college. But he led the nation in FG% all three years he was eligible (62.4% for his career). He averaged 17.2 rebounds per  game over his career. (Most players today would consider that many rebounds in one game to be a career accomplishment.) And, just for good measure, he threw in 24.3 points per  game over his career. It is ridiculous to overlook those sorts of numbers, but most of us do today. Sad.
