Name that player!

Don made headlines in 1951 and '52 as Captain of the Dayton Univ. team. He led the quintet into the N.I.T. Finals both years and was voted Tourney All Star twice. Holder of most of Dayton's basketball. records, Don, played on the Pistons three years before coming to the Royals.



The "Big O" was the overwhelming selection as the NBA's Rookie of the Year for 1960-61. He was even more brilliant in his first year with the Royals than he had been as a three-time college Player of the Year and All-American with the University of Cincinnati. Quickly establishing himself as one of the gate attractions of the NBA, Oscar became the first rookie guard to score more than 2,000 points. He finished fourth in scoring with 2,165 points and was the leader in assists with 690.



A rough, tough, rugged rebounder who last season developed into a stickout scorer. His forte is outleaping and outscrambling rivals for rebounds off his own backboard and either dropping them in or tapping them in for scores. He is fast despite his size. His exceptional strength makes him a tough man at the pivot post from which he can shoot with either hand. He was the team's third highest scorer last season.

Maurice Stokes
"Big Mo" does everything like a champ. He is the top man in the rebound department, having set the N.F.L. record last season, with 1256 grabs. He's the organizer of the Royals' fast break, is a great passer and can pop the ball in with his fine jump shot from the rim of the circle.
