[NU Sports] NU Hoopsters to NBA?

[Dennis W. Brandt]

Don Adams was indeed the guy.  Would you believe I couldn't recall his name 
because I was under the cone of silence all day?

Adams lived at the North Shore Hotel, which probably hasn't been a dorm for 
NU for some time.  He was a powerful rebounder.  (Wonder if he has a son? 
Or maybe it should be a grandson by now.)  I was surprised at how many 
points he scored in the NBA given that he was a defensive and rebounding 
specialist.  I was also amazed to see that Ron Kozlicki and Jim Burns played 
some pro ball.  I recall Burns being picked up, but I thought he was cut.

Isn't it ridiculous?  NU has only fourteen NBA players in history, five of 
whom only played one season, and not a star among the lot, although McKinney 
was apparently a good assist man.  Only he and Adams played any appreciable 
number of years.
