SEASON SUMMARY:
Best Player Of The First 25 Seasons? Try Endacott
In 1926, Dr. James Naismith chose the "All-Modern" Kansas basketball
team. In other words, Naismith picked the best five players from KU's first 25
seasons of basketball. He chose Paul Endacott as the captain of the team.
Joining Endacott on the select team was Charles Black, Gale Gordan, Al Petersen
and Tusten Ackerman. In 1943, the Associated Press chose a national
"all-time" team. Endacott was a second team selection.
