Bernie contributed much to the Squires offense in his first campaign with the club, 1971-72, with a 10.6 Average and hit an impressive 20.5 clip during the last dozen games of the season when the club was making its drive for the #2 playoff berth. He was particularly impressive in an early season game against Memphis.
Bernie's big adjustment from NBA to ABA was in handling the red white and blue ball.
