I don't think K.C. Jones should be in the Hall of Fame, at least not while guys like Adrian Dantley, Dennis Johnson, Gus Johnson, Spencer Haywood, Artis Gilmore, Bernard King, Paul Westphal, Jack Sikma and some others aren't in. But he was still a great Celtic because he was a valuable player on 8 championship teams. While he didn't score many points, he was a great defensive player, and a good passing point guard.
