Jon Scheyer joins an Israeli team....which reminds me of an interesting off season topic. A great collegiate BB career does not always translate to pro/NBA success.

Which MUers enjoyed star collegiate careers followed by no, or not much success in the pros?
Gene Berce, Butch Lee, Jerel McNeal, Earl Tatum, Bo Ellis,etc.,....add your own...looking for your top 10 list....

This is a little subjective...but hopefully its a diversion from, and more fun than the assault/Cottingham threads..


I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Bernard Toone. It was talked about him going straight from high school to the pros. After 4 years in college he barely played in pros.

MUfan12

Two of my favorites fall into this category- Tony Miller and Aaron Hutchins.

Can't forget Dominic James. Nearly declared after his freshman year and hasn't played a minute of NBA ball.

I think he'd probably have gotten a roster spot if he declared after his freshman year.

Chris Crawford made good bank in the NBA and nobody could've seen that coming.

Damon Key.

I assume Hou Warrior means NBA success.  Do you also mean Warriors who didn't have NBA success, where it was expected?

Damon..no big surprise.  He needed to get buff. 

I never really care about NBA success, not a big NBA fan, although, it helps recruiting.    Loved Cordell Henry, Tony Miller.  Butch Lee and Earl Tatum are my biggest surprises.

Damon Key meets the criteria.....great MU career, no pro success.     We agree on the reasons.

Jim McIlavaine - Though making $35M from the NBA is pretty impressive, but his numbers weren't very impressive..

"I'm not sure Cadougan would fix the problems on this team. I'm not even convinced he would be better for this team than DeWil is."

When Amal McCaskill re-surfaced in the NBA a few years out of MU, I was extremely surprised.

And after his first year at MU, I thought Roney Eford was NBA bound.

ODB, Ryan Amoroso...chin to the floor surprise they didn't make it.


Mike Kinsella, rocking the Middle East with serious ball.

Give me that kind of failure.  Please.   ;)

Roman Mueller - I couldn't sleep after we recruited him.  The 1st 7 footer in MU History, I believe.
Artie Green - runner up - If only he were 9" taller!  With that athleticism and leaping ability!

My uncle, a HUGE Marquette fan and supporter, recently saw Damon Key in Milwaukee.  He couldn't articulate how large the man had become.  I don't think that surprised anyone.  That being said, as a kid, jingling my dad's car keys every time he shot free throws was AWESOME.

HouWarrior

Brian Wardle, Trevor Powell, Cordell Henry, Aaron Hutchins, Bob Wolf....added to those in my first post

I think Majerus called Mueller the biggest sleeper since Rip Van Winkle. Turns out he was right - Roman pretty much sleepwalked through his career at MU.

augoman

depends on your definition of 'not much success in the pros', as William Earl Tatum was damn valuable his rookie year.  He did a veterans job with the Lakers in the play offs, but they lost the series.  Big (relatively speaking) second year contract followed by a series of trades.  Dick Vitale did as much to ruin Tatum's career in Detroit as he did to ruin the Pistons by pretending he could coach.  Another trade to the Cleveland Cadavers, knee injury, and so on. 

karavotsos

If Dunlevy plays T Smith more in the 91 Finals the Lakers beat the Bulls.  T Smith never got the deserved love in the NBA.

jsglow

Tatum and Lee.  By the way, Earl came to the BBQ.  He looked like he could still play.  Thanks for coming young fella.

Add Jim Chones and Doc Rivers

I'd flip that.  Doc Rivers had a better NBA career than MU career in my opinion.

Agreed.  He benefited from the NBA's man-man defenses.  What upset me though was he was a so-so free throw shooter at MU, but very effective from the line in the NBA (% wise).  What gives? (or what gave?)
