Jim Chones, a consensus Associated Press, Converse and UPI All-American in 1972, amassed 952 points and 583 rebounds during his 50-game Marquette playing career.
Considered by many to be the most complete big man in the country entering his junior season, Chones ranks among Marquette's all-time leaders in scoring average (19.0 ppg), rebounding average (11.7 rpg), and field-goal percentage (54.7 percent).
In 1971, he helped lead Marquette to a 28-1 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The following season, Chones led Marquette to a perfect 21-0 start by averaging a team-high 20.5 points and 11.9 rebounds before being selected in the first round of the 1972 ABA Draft by the New York Knicks.
Chones went on to enjoy a 10-year professional playing career with five different teams and in 1980 won a NBA Championship as a member of the Los Angles Lakers.
