I have always thought Otis Thorpe was one of best power forwards of his era. If Barkley, Malone and Kemp are tier 1, I think he would be second tier along w/ Oakley, Rodman, Ho Grant, and maybe Derrick Coleman.
Otis was an integral part of a championship team. He played for the Rockets for 6 years and was one of the hardest workers on the court. I think he is one of the most underappreciated Rockets of all time, partly bc they traded him for Drexler and won a championship anyway.
Drexler's number is retired and I think OT deserves it more than him.
