Loved to watch the guy. His ability to excel against taller players in the post was really something. RIP.

I loved watching Wes. He was a master at the outlet pass. One of the few at the time who could effectively grab a rebound and pass it down the court before coming back down. Good memories of seeing him play at the "Glass Palace".

Wes was a close family friend. I am sure he did teach Kevin some stuff
