STRENGTHS: Dantley is one of the more efficient scorers in league history. For those who love efficiency stats, Dantley's 61.7% true shooting % is #5 in NBA history. He led the league in points 2 times and free throws made 5 times. He holds the record for more free throws made in a game with 28. He achieved his success inside the free throw line, using a combination of jump shots and post play that managed to draw more fouls than most centers will ever see.

WEAKNESSES: One of the reasons Dantley's TS% was so high was he only attempted 41 3-pointers in his entire career...and made 7. Out of 15,121 shot, that's a fairly low percentage attempted, especially for a 6'5" wing. Dantley clearly was no long-range threat. Dantley was also a mediocre defender.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Dantley was a 6 time All-Star and was the Rookie of the Year in 1977. He was a Hall of Famer and an Olympic gold medal winner. Dantley was also a disruptive force on his own team's offense with a me-first mentality who played no defense and rubbed so many teammates the wrong way that virtually no one wanted to play with him. He is a better player on a stat sheet than he ever was on the court...which is great for a sim league.
