Scott began his professional career in the ABA and absolutely dominated. Over his two seasons in the ABA, Scott averaged a very impressive 30.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game.
Once he transitioned to the NBA, Scott was still a quality player, as his best seasons in the league came while as a member of the Phoenix Suns. He went on to play for the Boston Celtics and was a major piece of the organization’s 1976 championship squad.
Overall, Scott earned five All-Star appearances (three in the NBA) over his 10-year career. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of the 2018 class.
