Did Lon ever play against Dave Lattin in the pros?

I think David Lattin retired around 1974-75, which was around the time that Lon graduated from K-State. Anyone know if they might have overlapped careers for one year at least?

FWIW - Lattin was a first-round pick of the San Francisco Warriors back in 1966. They played at the old Cow Palace on the far-south side of San Francisco from 1962 until they moved across the bay to Oakland in '71. That's also when the name change occurred.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Lon ever played in the NBA. Seems like he played minor league baseball but that may be wrong too.

David Lattin's last pro game was in 1973 and Kruger was the Big 8 player of the year in 1974. Lattin only played 2 years in the NBA, sat out a year, and played 3 more years in the ABA before retiring. They never played against each other.

Actually, Lon never played pro ball.
