Len Chappell remembered as soft-spoken giant, great teammate at Wake Forest
Posted Jul 20, 2018
Len Chappell was an “unusual” basketball player, recalled former Wake Forest teammate Billy Packer. Or maybe he was just about 60 years ahead of his time. “He was a very unusual player in the fact that he had incredible strength and a big, strong, natural body. There was no weight-lifting to him, but he had unbelievably soft hands and excellent speed,” Packer said.
