I think he played on the BU team that had something like 30 wins back in the 80s, didn't he? His more famous teammate was Hersey Hawkins. I remember watching their opening round W against UTEP, and the commentator at the time mentioned that maybe with that 'w' they'd get some props, since UTEP was a respectable opponent.

Pretty impressive that he played 6 years in the NBA being a 5'11 guy from a small school.

RGV,

Thanks for the info. Remember Hersey Hawkins well. Don't recall Les ever being in pros.

In the NBA, Les played more for Sacramento than any other team.

I remember him being on Sacramento's roster on the old Tecmo NBA Basketball game for NES. I used to bring him off the bench and put him along with Pete Chilcutt and Wayman Tisdale and beat the snot out of my little cousin back in the day.
