Great College Players who didn't make in the Pro's?

Trey Burke was awesome in college but doesn't have the athleticism or size to be a good NBA PG.
It's crazy to look at Michigan's class of:
5* Glenn Robinson III
4* Mitch McGary
4* Nik Stauskas
3* Spike Albrehct
3* Caris LeVert
The top 3 started on our national championship runner-up team as freshman. LeVert was going to redshirt but ended up playing spot minutes. Now LeVert is the best NBA player of the group.
Royce White. Forgot about that guy. Dude was extremely talented and had issues going pro because of anxiety of flying.

Tyler Hansbrough. Stat wise, he’s one of the greatest ACC players ever. He just didn’t have the game for the NBA.
Fun fact about Tyler. His dad Gene is an orthopedic surgeon in Bowling Green Ky.
I knew he was an orthopedic surgeon but I didn't know he was in BG. Has he always been there?
Not sure how long he’s been there. I ran into him eating dinner about 4 years ago. My son had on a Carolina hoodie & he struck up a conversation with us.
JaJuan Johnson - really thought his length and bounce would translate to the NBA, but it never panned out.
Damn, now I have the facts of life theme song stuck in my head. Thanks.Peyton Siva > John Wall

I wish nothing but good things for Trey Burke every day.... but of course I’m lying.
Frank has been outplayed hill before he got traded and Fox. Frank will earn his minutes and be in the league for quite a while. Will he ever be the top banana---probably not, but the guy outworks everyone. I think he has all ready exceeded expectations and if he didn't get injured he would have a great stat line.
I always thought Kenny Gregory would get a shot at the NBA. I saw him play in the Derby Classic back in '96 or '97, he stood out as an amazing athlete. That kid could jump like Jordan.
I'll pick one guy for every ACC School
