Defensively Wali Jones was an aggressive team leader, constantly hounding the taller, stronger
backcourt men in the league with his harassing style. Offensively his shooting was crowd
pleasing, with a jump shot that seems to defy gravity. Wally Jones started for 3 years at Villanova,
then played with the Pistons and Bullets before joining the 76ers.
