Who’s the last dominant college player who wasn’t a #1 pick??

Who were the best college players 2001_2006?
Prob one of them

The latest one? The answer is obviously Kevin Durant.

Carmelo dominated in his year but Lebron was 1 and Melo was 3

That’s what I was thinking too but it’s clear he should have been number 1. I don’t think he got Texas the sweet 16.

Basically, it’s been a while since a great college player played great, played great in the tournament, won, and wasn’t the number 1 pick

Kemba was good, but I wouldn’t consider him dominant. But he does fit the criteria
-
03-22-21 02:31 PM #10
Ben Gordon was a better player than Kemba in my opinion and he did the same thing. Originally Posted by d2bets

Same school you could also go back to Rip Hamilton. Originally Posted by seaborneq

Rip had a lot of help on his way to a championship. El Amin, Kevin Freeman, jake Voskul come to mind. Originally Posted by d2bets

Carmelo Anthony
He single-handedly took Syracuse to the Final Four

I guess you are right. I just remember how surgical those championship wildcat teams were. Didn’t seem like they had dominant players or they ALL were dominant. Originally Posted by asiagambler

1992: Christian Laettner was one of the best college players of all-time and went #3 (Shaq, Mourning).
1996: Marcus Camby was quite dominant at UMass and went #2 (Iverson).
2002: Jay Williams I'd say qualifies, although Duke had a lot of other talent then too. He went 2nd (Yao).
Durant was obviously already mentioned a few times and I don't know how you want to classify guys like JJ Reddick and Jimmer, who were both amazing scorers. Reddick played on a loaded Duke team though, while Jimmer never advanced past the Sweet Sixteen IIRC. Nor did he see the toughest of competition at BYU.
I'll go with Laettner though as the most dominant of the last 30 years (barely) to not go #1.

Durant, Carmelo, and D Wade. I remember Wade dominating the NCAA tournament.
-
03-22-21 06:36 PM #20
To think that Laettner was nearly 30 years ago is amazing, he would definitely qualify as the best over the last 30 years. Melo would be up there too. I forgot about Cambyman. Good stuff. Originally Posted by CJ

Anderson Hunt. (NCAA Tournament MVP)
But the rumors are/were he was blackballed from the NBA for point shaving while playing at UNLV.

03-22-21 07:45 PM #23
Which UNLV team was he the best player?? Originally Posted by stevenash

what year Did Jimmer Fredette score almost 30 a year and drop 30+ on Gonzaga in the 2nd round of the ncaa tourney to knock them out?
he won national player of the year EVERYWHERE
10th overall
-
03-22-21 07:52 PM #25
Stephen Curry. No one could stop him when he was at Davidson.

Trae Young led ncaa in scoring
5th in draft
-
03-22-21 07:58 PM #28
Doug McDermott?
5th all time ncaa scorer when he finished led the nation his senior year
-
03-22-21 08:03 PM #29
Hank Gathers was dominant scorer and rebounder
he didn't get drafted for some reason
-
03-22-21 08:06 PM #30
Buddy Hield seems like a big one
-
03-22-21 08:10 PM #31
I don’t think that he helped his team win a single tournament game. Originally Posted by Chi_archie

Make sure to factor in dominance with helping the team win. Leading the NCAA in scoring and not winning a few tourney games or getting to the final four is not really dominant. Make sure the player led his team to some team success

how was Buddy Hield's ncaa performance?
Jimmer and Mcdermott had ncaa success with small teams
I guess we can play semantics

Buddy Heild's Final Four performance against Villanova was atrocious. But I guess he led them to the Final Four. That game was over at halftime. Originally Posted by Chi_archie
