Chuck Person: The Indiana Pacers sharpshooter before Reggie Miller | Forgotten Player Profiles

The Rifleman, Chuck Person came into the league as a complete scorer and won rookie of the year with Indiana, but just a year later, they drafted Reggie Miller. And although Person kept producing, Miller continued to separate himself each year, until Person was traded about halfway through his career. Person would bounce around with 4 teams the remainder of his career, finding some success as a specialist in San Antonio. Unfortunately, a back injury led to a steep decline in the later years of Person’s career. Even though Person may not have been the most consistent scorer, or the best defender, he was a threat to go off on any given night and gave fans a lot of excitement and opponents a lot of buckets for 13 seasons.
