Bonzi Wells was recently named head coach of LeMoyne-Owen College, an HBCU school in Memphis. As a player, he was a hard nosed bucket that could score in all phases on offense. Bonzi lit it up at the mid-major program, Ball State, before ending up a Portland Trailblazer in 1998.

Always part of contending teams, Bonzi was most often misunderstood as a player. It’s something that stuck with Bonzi throughout his career, but taking a closer look, he was a team player that produced in winning systems. Now, as Penny points out, what people did not see in Bonzi, are what franchises recognize in upside and consistency. While the perception didn’t meet the reality, Bonzi has found his lane to success in the game as a coach.
