I'll go with the trio of Calvin Murphy, Super John Williamson and Walter Luckett.

All great players but there is only 1 CT high school player who went on to win 2 NCAA championships

Yes, we have. About a year and a half ago.

Best Player Ever From The State Of Connecticut

Someone stated in a thread, where the relative merits of Lively versus Clingan was being discussed that, "Yes, he’s (Clingan) the best player CT has ever seen." Focusing on Connecticut natives, someone countered with Drummond and another with Gminski, and you might add Camby or Corny Thompson...

Vin Baker

Donovan Clingan. Don't forget there were no state tournaments in '20 & '21. And in '21 they only had 12 regular season games.
He probably would've gotten 12-14 more games.

Murphy, Williamson & Luckett are ahead of my time.
Anthony Harris & John Bagley were also unstoppable.

 

[methodology]

Best player I’ve seen in person in high school was Bobby Moore

 

[jdb50]

Mike Adams from Harford Public was pretty good. 9 year NBA career 9,621 points.

[UconnU]

Doug Wiggins is up there

 

[uconngb]

The initial 3 were very good, but Corny HAS to be on this list

 

[Northbound]

Clearly Murphy, no mention of Camby

 

[methodology]

Doug Wiggins is up there

Not even close and I’m good friends with him

 

[husky99]

I say camby.. he was nasty good If he wanted to

 

[3rdbass]

I say camby.. he was nasty good If he wanted to

My youngest brother went to HS with him at Conard High Shcool one year he was there.

Murphy then Williamson and third I like Thompson, but I always liked Vin Baker too. Will Big Don join this list?
