Chalmers - Dude could make the most surprising plays. It shouldn't have been a surprise when he made the shot. But Jesus dude. That shot. TROB - Dude took an average 6'9 body and through effort alone made himself the best player in the country not named Davis. You put Robinson in an NBA body.... Aldrich - I'm a sucker for skilled big men. **** off. Plus the embarrassment of Handsjob unassailable. Vaughn - Probably a nostalgia pick here as I was just getting into basketball when he played, so it might be a warped perspective but I'd never seen anyone so smooth with the ball. I reserve the right to change it. It was really REALLY goddamned hard to get it to 5. |

I can't put them in any order so just call it a general top 5, and this has a lot to do with when I was attending KU (1999-2003).
Frank Mason Thomas Robinson Sherron Collins Kirk Hinrich Nick Collison Honorable mention to Brandon Rush |

Vaughn was severely overrated. Coming out of HS he was a Parade All-American, so the expectations were that he was one of the best players. He was also the Starting PG on very good KU basketball teams, so he was given accolades out of respect for the team more than anything. He was a good player, but didn't deserve 2nd team All-American honors 2 years in a row.

Probably have to base this on the opinions of average fans. Most of us follow the team closely enough that we have pretty strong justification for our opinions. For me, it’s: Overrated: Perry Ellis. He was fine, but very limited and not really great at anything. Super soft rebounder. Always struggled with great athletes. Underrated: Tyshawn Taylor. The turnovers were bad, but when he was under control he was unstoppable at attacking the basket. Underrated defender too. When he left Kansas, only Tyshawn, Kirk Hinrich, and Darnell Valentine had 1,400 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in their KU careers. |

Mason was the man.
I went to an ISU game at Allen when Julian Wright played. He made an incredible super athletic move under the basket for a reverse lay-in. I swear I heard the whole field house inhaling in unison to scream - but the ball didn't go in. The roof would have come off if it did. |

1. Frank Mason and it isnt even close. I hope that guy wants to coach at KU someday
2. Pierce 3. Chalmers 4. Collins 5. Ochai 6. Hinrich Overrated 1. Joel Embiid. Great NBA player and got alot better but id rather have sooo many guys IN COLLEGE over him. 2. Vaughn 3. Sean Pearson. Shooter who couldn't shoot 4. Dedric Lawson 5. Devonte Graham. Took so many terrible 2-pt shots and always got a free pass. |
