4. Gene England
Englund was a six five forward who played his college ball at the university of Wisconsin. Englund was never really a superstar but he was an above average player who would finish 3rd all time in scoring in the NBL.
He started his NBL career with the Oshkosh All-Stars but did have a period of time were he played for the ABL's Brooklyn Indians before returning to the All-stars. He helped guide the All-stars to one NBL title and played for two teams who lost the NBL title as well.
England would play one season in the NBA, appearing in 46 games during the leagues inaugural season for both the Boston Celtics and Tri-Cities Blackhawks, but by the time the NBA formed Englund's career was nearly over.
