Best UConn player to never make the NBA

[tcf15]

Looking at a list of UConn players who have played in the NBA (post-merger), here's what you've got (listed by decade in which they made their NBA debut):

1980s​

Chuck Aleksinas, Corny Thompson, Bruce Kuczenski, Clifford Robinson​

​

1990s​

Tate George, Chris Smith, Scott Burrell, Donyell Marshall, Donny Marshall, Kevin Ollie, Ray Allen, Travis Knight, Richard Hamilton​

​

2000s​

Jake Voskuhl, Khalid El-Amin, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Rudy Gay, Hilton Armstrong, Marcus Williams, Josh Boone, Hasheem Thabeet, A.J. Price, Jeff Adrien​

​

2010s​

Kemba Walker, Jerome Dyson, Andre Drummond, Jeremy Lamb, Shabazz Napier, Daniel Hamilton, Rodney Purvis​

That list above reads like a who's who of UConn basketball, but there have been some other guys with great UConn careers that never played a single minute in the NBA.

So, in your opinion, who's the best UConn player that never played in the NBA?

 

[Huskybass]

Boat or Nadav.

 

[Robertelamin]

Just one? I’d go with Nadav.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

In my fandom era Boat or Sticks

Doran, Rashad, Nadav or Boat.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Boat was so good in his last year at UConn. I do think he could have been a decent NBA player if given a shot.

Kemba
Drummond

Doron in a walk. Boat, Nadav and Hanson all tied for second.
