Tough to add players to the list that are one and done.

How about Bill Bradley’s lefty hook, a shot I never saw him take in the pros, but which he took, and made, from the corners(righty from the right corner of course.) when at Princeton.

Mullin should have been much higher, if one and done's are eligible Durant should be included.

Durant should be on it, but his team lost in the second round, but if winning was important to this list, Pistol would never be #2. Mullin had a terrific career, but other than a few ahead of him, I think he is about where he belongs, Certainly not ahead of the Cooz.

Mullin 3 time Big East POY in conference that was unquestionably the best in the country during his time and had to compete against Ewing, his college career numbers stack up very well against Jordan who was not the NBA Jordan at NC

Jordan’s game winning shot for the title is obviously a factor, but his pro career has a great influence, which it should not. Mullin’s legacy would be greater if he had stayed out of coaching. Not related to this list.

If you want to see numbers, look at Jerry Lucas--hard to believe he was not top 10
and shouldn't Bailey Howell be on the list?

Yes Jerry Lucas was a great college player should be high on the list don't know anything about Bailey Howell's college career.

He showed up for the first day of some class at Ohio State and, being a tall guy who did not want to block the view of others, sat in the last row. The professor comes in and says something to the effect of "if you think that just because you're an athlete you can just sit in the back of the class and ignore the instruction, etc, etc". Lucas, of course, aced the class

Bailey Howell-- 27 points per game and 17 rebounds for his 3 year career. Shot .525 and .765 on free throws. Miss State won the SEC and was #3 in the country his senior year.

Certainly impressive stats remember him from time with Celtics another great move by Auerbach to keep the dynasty going, getting back to Lucas his OSU teams were close to 3 straight titles won as sophomore then lost final game next two years to Cincinnati

Christian Laettner should be higher than 19.
I know he was reviled, but he was a great college player.

Christian Laettner should be higher than 19. I know he was reviled, but he was a great college player. It could be argued that Bobby Hurley (#42) was as much, if not a bigger, and only positive, influence in Laettner’s years. Laettner in later years admitted he was an ahole in college. The Dream Team made him pay, as “the one who was not like the others”

"Buckshot Bailey" as Johnny Most called him. And, as Dave Zinkoff, the PA voice of the Sixers, used to say: "That was a Howell Foul".

, getting back to Lucas his OSU teams were close to 3 straight titles won as sophomore then lost final game next two years to Cincinnati High School, college, Olympic and NBA Championships. Only one to achieve these 4 ? The big O claimed 3.

All I could find was his talking about winning a Touirnament of Champions as a junior at McClymond’s in Oakland being very meaningful despite the fact that he did not get to play.. He was a very late bloomer
