Random but interesting stat.  TP if you can get the other 5.

Jaylen Brown is averaging 29.2 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 4.9 APG this season.

Listed at 6?6?, only five other players that tall or shorter have put up those numbers.

Westbrook has to be on there.  Jordan. Oscar.

Correct on those three.

Did The Logo have a good rebounding year or two?

Correct. Twice.  '61-62 & '65-66.  Who mentioned him before but didn't exactly sound like a guess. 

One more to go.

I am thinking the last is probably also from the 60s when the pace and minutes were high and shooting percentages low, creating opportunities for do-it-all stat lines, but I cannot think of a player to guess.

Does Wilt make the list?

I am thinking he was below the scoring the mark when he was leading the league in assists.

I would hope Wilt the Stilt was taller than 6?6?, which I though was a criteria.

Correct.  6'6" or shorter.

Ah, I forgot that part. My bad.

I was surprised Drexler didn't make it. He never had the scoring. He topped out at 27ppg. Also he was 6 foot 7 so he would have been scratched for that anyway.

[Who]

Charles Barkley

Feels like a cheat name because he is not a guard or wing but a 6-4 (or 6-6) PF. So Chuck makes the cut for the height requirement despite being a big man / power player / interior player.

Update: Dang! He didn't have the scoring. 28.4ppg was his career high and he did not have the assists that year. 27.6ppg was high with the 4+ assists.

[Who]

Okay. so my next line of guesses ...

Billy Cunningham or Rick Barry. Barry would be 6-7 so he would just miss out. Billy Cunningham was only 6-5 but I am not sure he has the scoring. I think of him more as a 25ppg peak level scorer.

Which made me think of Elgin Baylor. It's gotta be Elgin. He would easily have the scoring & rebounding. He would have the assists too. He was 6-5.

-------------------

Which also makes me wonder about Hondo. He's gotta be close to those numbers in the early 70s.

Update: Hondo topped out at 28.9ppg. So he just misses the scoring cut off point. He had 9rpg and 7.5apg that season. 1970-71.

I got the basketball era correct at least.
