Sounds more like Tom Les. He was sometimes known as the human floor burn.

Frank Sylvester played 3 seasons for the Bradley varsity from 1968-1971, for Joe Stowell. He wasn't a great scorer, but he was the best dribbler/ball handler I've ever seen at Bradley. At 5'4", nobody could steal the ball from him, even with double-teams and full court pressing.

My bad. Who was the point guard in Versace's first year? He was not able to bring his JC players with him and had a rough season. OR am I wrong again?

Was Frankie the player that would chase an opponent up court and when he got close to him dive on the court and slide under the path of the ball so the opponent would lose control of his dribble. I think it was either him or Tom Les

It was Les.
