OT: Top College Basketball stars since 2000

[Deleted at users request]

2 Huskies in the top 15.

Zion wouldn’t be #1 for me. Wouldn’t put Edey over John Wall, Lonzo Ball, Michael Beasley, and Blake Griffin

Not a bad list overall though.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Kemba should be right behind Durant. AD should be higher also.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Marshall Henderson?

Matt Norlander is an idiot.

I agree, but can concede that Steph and Jimmer were bigger “stars”. Jimmer won NPOY (even though it should’ve been Kemba’s award).

Kemba is more substance than hype in those cases.

I’d probably swap AD and Noah.

Marshall Henderson?

Matt Norlander is an idiot.

The only reason these pieces are created are to generate clicks and comments. There's always a head scratcher on any list like this to stir up these types of reactions in the comments... so take the rankings with a grain of salt.

And 3 of the top 4 did pretty much nothing in the NBA.

Shabazz Napier won two titles, including leading what is considered one of the worst teams to ever win a championship in 2014. How is he not on the list?

 

[RuffRuff]

One of 4 programs with 2 or more on that list, wild to think Oklahoma is in that group. And yes, lists are notoriously known for being the highest source of internet click bait - as anything list format registers with the human brain and in subjective scenarios, raises debate.

I thought it was generally pretty good - Norlander knows what he's talking about. Marshall Henderson is a weird one, and yes Shabazz not being on there is also a miss.

Norlander trolling his CT neighbors with Henderson.

 

[Kaizen]

I never heard Zion Williamson before...

 

[SubbaBub]

Edey is a 2 time POY. Can't dispute he is one of the top players in the last 25 years.

For UConn, Oak, Kemba, Bazz, Newton, and Clingan should make the list with Sanogo as an Honorable mention. You don't win 5 titles in 25 seasons without having 5 of the top 25 players even if you are biased towards stats, hype and NBA draft status.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Grayson Allen? Please.

If he wanted to put a more inconspicuous star from a meh program on the list he could’ve went with Vasquez from Maryland. He was at least an AA.

But yeah Shabazz should’ve for sure replaced him on the list. Wouldn’t put Brunson above him or that high in general.

Not just that, he was a champ in all of the advanced metrics. Isn't that bigger than winning?

 

[gtcam]

With Zion as #1????????????????????
that tells me all I want to know about that list without even seeing it.
GARBAGE

 

[lonsharkin51]

So to be the biggest star of the last quarter-century all you have to do is play one year and win nothing? Seems kinda stupid

 

[Gurleyman]

Zion needed a miracle to get past Tacko Fall. And he played with two other top 5 recruits. No. Just no.

 

[cullaville]

2 Huskies in the top 15.

Zion wouldn’t be #1 for me. Wouldn’t put Edey over John Wall, Lonzo Ball, Michael Beasley, and Blake Griffin

Not a bad list overall though.

put Niels Giffey and Tyler Olander on the list - two Huskies who were part of two national championship teams

Most of the country didn't know who he was until LeBron tweeted about him. This article is about the headline grabbers.

 

[aceboon]

Marshall Henderson popping his jersey and talking trash was enough to land him on this list?

 

[J187Money]

The word "star" is the operative term here.
