Lafayette “fat” Lever. Played in the 80′ and 90’s.

I clearly remember games where Troutdale Shaq (while limited minutes mind you) seemed like he could not miss. Multiple games…sure maybe it was 4/5 for 80%fg but on paper it still looks impressive. I actually miss the guy.

Eubanks is a fascinating NBA player. I followed him closely because we went to OSU at the same time. I would play in the band at his games and even had some classes with the dude.
He really wasn’t *that* good at OSU; lacked effort at times and didn’t have much of a post game compared to what he developed in the NBA. He’s SO MUCH better now than he was in college. Not a lot of players can say that.

Fat Lever was an absolute beast in the late 80’s.
Dude averaged nearly 20/8/8 and 3 steals per game.

The least surprising in Trent leading turnover percentage
Fat Lever was a lot of fun to watch.
Now, let’s talk about Billy Ray Bates. The [Kermit Washington lob to BRB for the game winner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8meMBSWrnKA) is legend.
