Who was the greatest basketball player who was never inducted into the Naismith Memorial basketball Hall of Fame?

Leroy Edwards

He was the most dominant player of the pre-NBA era.
2x NBL Champion
3x NBL MVP
8x All-NBL
3x NBL Scoring Champ

If this was the NBA he’d be first ballot HoFer no question. I still have no idea why he isn’t in though. George Mikan called him the best player he ever played against – and that was against an older Leroy! and Basketball Hall of Fame does induct pre-NBA players so I have no idea why.
