Adrian Dantley
Person
At 6ft 5in, Dantley was usually shorter than the man guarding him, yet he scored heavily from the post for Utah in the 1980s with pump fakes, ball fakes and jab steps that drew fouls. He led the league in free throws made several times. He is the best example on this list of footwork and patience beating size outright, so he is ideal viewing for smaller forwards.
