Brian Winters

Brian Winters was a two-time NBA All-Star with the Milwaukee Bucks who played for nine seasons in the NBA between 1974-1983.

Coming out of South Carolina where he averaged 13.2ppg & 4rpg, Winters was drafted with the 12th overall pick in the 1974 NBA Draft by the LA Lakers.

Winters had a successful rookie year in LA, being named to the All-Rookie first team after averaging 11.7ppg, 2rpg, 2.9apg & 1.1spg.

Not too long after his rookie season, Winters was involved in the trade that would send Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the Bucks to the Lakers.

Winters had immediate success in Milwaukee, being named as an All-Star in two of his first three seasons with the team, and averaged 16.7ppg, 2.7rpg, 4.3apg and 1.2apg across his eight season tenure there.

Such was his impact at the Bucks, he eventually had his #32 guernsey retired by them post-career.

Winters' best individual game? How about his 40 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in 33 minutes in a 1976 game against Portland.
