I overlooked Westicles and Xavier Sneed as among the considered.

We can't even put together a starting 5 that played NBA ball out of 25 years of players? :frown:

Cartier should be on the first team. I'm taking your team bumping Quis to the second team, which bumps Massey off altogether.

If you're making room for Cartier, bump Wade not Nowell. Nowell was one play away from NPOY, and Wade missed too many big games. Massey is a personal fav so I never eliminate him. Probably second to Beasley in being fun to watch.

Did Pullen really play in a regular season NBA game? I honestly didn't know that.

In what world was Nowell in the conversation for National Player of the Year? He wasn’t even an all-American.

Post-2000 KSU Cats by NBA minutes played (* denotes “active” player)

Mike Beasley - 13,903
Rod McGruder - 6,158
Claws - 4,585*
Wes Westicles - 3,827
Cartier Martin - 3,351
Bill (Henry) Walker - 3,016
Xavier Sneed - 87
Keyontae Johnson - 66*
Jacob Pullen - 6
Markquis Nowell - 4*

I was wrong about Pullen playing a game. It was a single basket that he scored.

Mike Beasley (POY) 07-08
Jake Pullen 09-10, 10-11

Not only that but how does one become "one play away" from NPOY?

Not top 5 -  10 guys by any means but I enjoyed the crap out of watching Thomas Gipson, Jordan Henrique’s, DJamer and Shane Southwell

Meh. About half as dynamic as Diarra, author of the classic game-sealing steal and thrown-down dunk on KU and key component of a f8 team and a league champion one.

Agreed,

I also enjoyed some singular stand out performances from Nino Williams, Spradling, and Freddy Brown too. But all those guys above we're a joy.

Also one of, if not the single best uniforms we’ve had. Far better than the grays we wore all the time.

Uh, two, not three. He was here longer than any other coach in that time frame, I'd hope that he'd have at least a couple.

Any K-State coach was going to sign Wade. I'll admit Brown was a nice find.
