Top 10 Scorers in San Antonio Spurs' franchise history

#6 James Silas - 10,290 points

For a player who was drafted in the fifth round of the 1972 draft by the Houston Rockets and waived before the 1972-73 season even began, Silas proved his worth eventually.

After Silas signed with the Chaparrals(Now Spurs) in 1972, he was named to the ABA All-Rookie team at the end of the season. He went on to be named an ABA All-Star for two consecutive seasons(1975 & 1976), averaging a career-high 23.8 points per game along with 5.4 assists & 4.0 rebounds per game in the 1975-76 season.

James Silas was an excellent free-throw shooter and finished sixth on the franchise all-time FT% list, with a free-throw conversion of 85.5%. He was nicknamed "Captain Late" & "The Late Mr. Silas" because of his ability to perform best late in the games.

On February 28, 1984, Silas's #13 became the first number ever retired by the San Antonio Spurs.
