Conquistadors Card of the Day

Caldwell Jones

Caldwell's idol is Wilt Chamberlain. "Man, he's my hero." says Caldwell. "He was when I was a kid now, playing with him... it's too much." Wilt has taken Caldwell under his wing and labors daily to bring out the natural talents of the near-7-foot Caldwell. One of the ABA'S most outstanding rookies of 1973-74 Caldwell had an outstanding 15.0 scoring average in 79 games and had 144. assists for the Q's.

Caldwell's nickname is "Albany".

Name that player!

Some of Red's opponents in the league call him "Sneaky Pete." He has had to be sneaky to have amassed more than 5000 Rebounds in his ABA career with his slight frame as it takes great strength to muscle his way inside the loop's front line giants. Red is a 6-year veteran.

Who is it?

The Conquistadors' leading scorer in 1972-73, Stew got his first taste of playoff action in his six-year ABA career last season. Called by many the best shooting forward in pro basketball, his output helped San Diego off to a great start at the beginning of the campaign.

Who is it?

Les is an extremely dangerous one-on-one player with good jumping ability, strength and deceptive quickness. He's appeared in 2 All-Star games. Drafted from Kentucky, 8-10-72.
