Please tell me more Dr. Naismith. Seriously, that’s not what you said - you were talking about Padgett helping him with a facet of the game that he didn’t possess. Yes, Padgett was a really good passer out of the high post and yes, he had a hook shot - like every 7’ guy whose ever played basketball but if you’re really trying to credit him for a facet of the game that Spalding has been working on since he was a junior at Trinity, then you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Perhaps he could teach the bigs how to block out?
