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

Julius Hodge for me. Getting shot didn't help him but I thought he would have done more damage before that as well. Melo being in Denver already didn't help.

I always thought Chris Douglas Roberts was going to be an NBA . Never happened. I also thought Fransico Garcia would too.
One no one is surprised by is Tyler Hansbrough

Terrence Williams

Samardo Samuels?

Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Perry Ellis, Julian Wright, Jeff Withey, Adonis Jordan, Rex Walters, Ryan Roberson, Steve Woodberry.

Samardo Samuels?

He was an undersized center, too slow of foot to play pf.

 

[ThePhog08]

Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Perry Ellis, Julian Wright, Jeff Withey, Adonis Jordan, Rex Walters, Ryan Roberson, Steve Woodberry.

Wayne quit to do ministry.

I think we need to define the word "great" cause I'm seeing a lot of players listed who I wouldn't put in the "great" category.

And define the words "make it" Brandon Rush has a 10 year nba carrier.

Wayne quit to do ministry.

True, but didnt have much of an impact the few years he played.

From Duke, Nolan Smith always baffled me. Baffled. Quick, a good shooter, good defender.

Shel Williams was another who I thought would stick, if for no other reason than long arms and rebounding and defense.

One who stuck around in pro ball? Shav “The Chinese Jordan” Randolph.

Bobby Hurley, Steve Alford

 

[jwardelt]

Alando Tucker was ok in college. Nothing in the NBA.

 

[KU4LIFE]

Trajan Langdon

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Bobby Hurley, Steve Alford

Hurley isn't really a fair one. We'll never know how good he was going to be as a pro.

I think the question should be best CBB players who never played a minute in the NBA. Seems like more than half of the guys mentioned were drafted or played on teams for several years. I’ve always been intrigued by the All American level guys who go undrafted and then play overseas for 10+ years. Like Hollis Price.

Tommy Kleinschmidt fits that description. All American from DePaul in the mid 90s, couldn't make it to the NBA and then had a very long and successful career in Japan.
