Wasn't the biggest center in pro basketball, but the guy brought his A game every time. If you had to play opposite Wes, your knew it the next day cause you had more bruises than you started the game with. Wes certainly knew how to throw his weight around! RIP Wes.

He used to practice rebounding and outlet passes grabbing a board of one backboard and while in mid air throwing it of the opposite backboard.

He's listed at only 6 ft 7 and looked more like an offensive lineman than a NBA player. He had a great career during a time when I loved and completely trusted the integrity of the NBA.
