What college has produced the best NBA players?

[Caleb Cattivera]

i was going to make this a poll. but there's alot of schools.

Current - i've been debating this one for about 20 minutes. but i think im going to go with uconn. caron. hamilton. gordon. jesus. emeka. donyell marshall.

arizone comes close for me too though. arenas. bibby. andre. jefferson. stoudamire. jason terry.

All Time - I'm going with UCLA. kareem. goodrich. walton. reggie. m johnson. b diddy. vandeweghe.

[Spicoli hey bud]

North Carolina - Rasheed, Haywood, Jamison, Vince, Stack, McInnis

All Time - Georgetown with the Mutombo/Zo/Ewing monster combo and AI?
UCLA was prob the best though
UNC was unreal as well

Loren Woods too

[Boring Pop Song]

surprisingly duke doesn't produce, for as good of a college team as they usually have.


i agree with the bruins, or UNC... i mean not to sound cliche but UNC had MJ

MJ is retired buddy

and Duke is still a good team...Brand, Battier, Boozer, Maggette, Dunleavy, Hill?

add last years draft to the carolina list

[Nater]

Both Michigan and M.State have produced some fine ball players

[Spicoli hey bud]

add last years draft to the carolina list
that just wouldn't be fair...to me this is easily the best team with current players

McCants, the Williams duo, felton and may

[Boring Pop Song]

and Duke is still a good team...Brand, Battier, Boozer, Maggette, Dunleavy, Hill?


i meant in comparison to how well their team does. sure they're gonna produce good players, but they aren't as consistent as you'd think.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Both Michigan and M.State have produced some fine ball players
M. State - Mo pete, Snow, JRich, Randolph
Mich - Crawford, Webber, Jalen, Howard, Mo Taylor

[Talib Scottie]

Magic.

[Talib Scottie]

Bill Walton was a solid NBA player at best, but is one of the all-time college greats

[somethingyellow]

the sleeper school.....LSU with shaq and pistol pete

[Talib Scottie]

Brand, and Grant Hill are the only players from Duke who lived up to the hype.

Maggette is getting there

[Talib Scottie]

High School wins: KG, Lebron, Kobe, Jermaine

[Nater]

Whatever happened to Georgetown? They were a powerhouse back in the day. did they even make it to the tourny last year?

[Talib Scottie]

Seriously, I'd say Uconn has the best thing going right now. All-time is difficult though.

UNC and UCLA have to be 1-2 I believe, not sure which order though

[Talib Scottie]

UNC - Bob McAdoo, Phil Ford, Worthy, Jordan, Perkins, Brad Daughtery, Kenny Smith, Rick Fox, George Lynch, Stackhouse, Rasheed, McInnis, Jamison, Carter, Shammond Williams, Haywood...

Roy Williams Larry Brown and George Karl if you want to consider coaches, Julius Peppers and Ronald Curry if you consider the NFL... hah

Can't find a UCLA list. but here's the UNC one.. http://www.tarheelreview.com/pro_heels.html

ESPN just did an ultimate College BBall team tournament it was awesome but here is one no one has mention yet. Georgetown.

Sleepy Floyd
Allen Iverson
Alonzo Mourning
Patrick Ewing
Dikeme Mutombo

[Talib Scottie]

I remember a while back ESPN did a tournament simulation if players had to graduate before going pro, it was like 98 but basically Duke had Kobe Bryant (he signed a letter of intent before turning pro), Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, and a few others. I was like fuck...

KG was going to Michigan

[Caleb Cattivera]

dont forget the best player to jump straight from high school to the pros. moses malone.

[Spicoli hey bud]

LSU - Pistol Pete, Chaq, Stro Show, Pettit, Macklin
Houston - Hakeen, Drexley, Cheney, Elvin HAyes...Bo Outlaw?

[Caleb Cattivera]

ucla has the most to come out and to the nba. guys know who the next four are?

notable players from ucla: abdul jabbar, abdul rahman, lucius allen, henry bibby, b diddy, mark eaton, kenny erikcson, gail goodrich, jack fuckin haley, marques johnson, don maclean, reggie miller, tracy murray, swen nater, pooh, curits rowe, kiki, walton, sidney wicks, jamal wilkes.

player from ucla i like to make fun of: george zidek, where's eric montross when you need him.

[aminorthreat55]

Maryland has actually had some good ones. Joe Smith, Juan Dixon, Steve Francis, Walt Williams, Len Bias, Buck Williams, and a ton of others I can't think of right now.

John Lucas, Joe Smith, Tom McMillen

[Talib Scottie]

I went to UNC basketball camp, my counselors were Phil Ford and Eric Montross. Haha, but it was when Jordan was retired and he came and played the alumni vs counselors

He actually played on the team with like Serge Zwiker, Forte Oakulaja and others against Montross, Carter, Antawn Jamison, Shammond and Donald Williams.

were you invited to play there or was it like a pay and play thing.

[Talib Scottie]

It was a camp, I had to pay and then they make you do drills and exercise, it's like boot camp, but with basketball instead of all the yelling and running through the mud

We did physical exercises in the morning, skills drills in the afternoon, and they split us up in teams and we got to play in tournaments every night. We got the gym that they played in like the 50s meaning no ac in the dead of summer

[Caleb Cattivera]

that's tight about unc camp. i always went to jim crews basketball camp at the university of evansville in indiana. we didnt really have a power house, and i was poor when i was a kid so u of i bball camp was expensive. i settled for crews. jerry sloan was there every year, which he is actually from the town that's next to my hometown, so if you go in a bar at any given time during the summer, he's in there, that drunk bastard. back to the case at hand...coach crews always had calbert cheaney and walter mccarty come to the come. neither played for him but both are residents of evansville...so when you're around an nba player when youre like 12, your freaking out, but thinking back, it was still pretty cool.

[Spicoli hey bud]

this thread needs to pick up the discussion..
except its gametime for maryland

[Broken Parachute]

I would say Duke..but think about it, really..Shane Battier --> Mehh..Jay Williams --> Almost killed himself..Mike Dunleavy --> What team is he on anyway? Carlos Boozer might be the only one I like from Duke. JJ Redick is going to be really good. I'd say maybe UNC. Jordan and Worthy are enough for me.

You really didn't mention anyone that great from Duke. REddick won't be good. And Dunleavy plays for golden state.

[Broken Parachute]

I named guys who all the hype was about at that time.

[preppyak]

He'll be a good role player, 6th man, with a decent three point average. Good, yes, great and someone people will remember for anything more than college, no. He can't create his own shots off the dribble, that is his downfall.

He can't create his own shots off the dribble, that is his downfall.i think he will be pretty good . any team will take a good shooter and he has shown that he can do more then just shoot

I don't even see that. He will never learn how to create, and in the NBA, this is more important. I'm not saying he's going to be terrible, but nothing more than a career best year of 12 or so points a game.

I agree he will never learn how to create, but I don't think that will hamper him as badly. He will play like 20+ mpg, I can see him averaging 10-12 points a game, shoot well from 3pt. That is a good player, nothing impressive, but still something worth it to a team. What sucks is that he will get drafted high, and then he will seem like a bust based entirely on that pick. He is a good early 2nd round pick for a team with a need, maybe even late 1st if one of the good teams needs a consistent 3pt source.

here's a fun fact..you are exactly a day older than me.

[justinevans]

arizona and uconn - all-time - unc, ucla, duke, high school
