Edit Profile
Career
In high school, Delph led the Conway Wampus Cats to two state basketball championships, in 1973 and 1974. Along with Sidney Moncrief and Ron Brewer, he was labeled as one of the "Triplets", a trio of Arkansas-born, similarly-sized players who led Arkansas basketball through a tremendous resurgence after years of mediocre play. Following his college career, Delph was drafted twice, first in the 3rd round of the 1978 National Basketball Association draft by the Buffalo Braves and then in the 6th round of the 1979 National Basketball Association draft by the Boston Celtics.
Unlike his fellow Triplets, Delph never played in the National Basketball Association, despite several attempts.
He continued playing amateur basketball with the Athletes in Action team, a religiously-oriented team Delph played for the United States men"s national basketball team at the 1978 International Basketball Federation World Championship, a team composed primarily of Athletes in Action players.
Delph was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.
Membership
Known for his outside shooting and remarkable leaping ability, Delph was a member of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four team in 1978.
