Glen 'Doc' Rivers.  Super nice guy, even back as a student. 

YES he was and probably still is.

Diener. That three vs Louisville was crazy with Vitale on the call... "Diener can shoot ittttt.." and it lasted for about 2 more seconds.

Aaron Hutchins / Brian Wardle / Chris Crawford

Those guys got me hooked for life.

Maurice Lucas.  The best power forward in MU history.  The most intimidating player in MU history.  Players from opposing teams shivered at him.  If you think Todd Mayo has a game face, you have no idea what Lucas's looked like.

No doubt.  Had Chones stayed . . .

That's why he was called Hairy Reason.

Tony Smith. Currently it's DJO. I'm not a hater.

Old #26 Ray Morstadt....prettiest set shot I ever saw.

Ha! Good old "Helmet Head"!  Only person I ever knew whose haircut was both an afro and a mullet.
Have some patience, FFS.

From a relatively new fan, Jimmy Butler.

Currently Todd Mayo.

Best interview is far and away Jae Crowder, which makes me love him from a journalistic standpoint.

MUCam

Wade is hard to not put at the top. He was such a magical player. I remember the first time I watched him, I told someone I thought he might be the purest talent since MJ to play basketball. Those were big shoes he had to fill, or so I was told. He may not have filled them, but he has done a damn nice job trying.

That said, I also loved Dominic James. His story is such a heartbreaker. It really tore me up to see the way people bashed him here and on other sites. He was truly a warrior and proved to be such an emotional leader for the group and the team after Crean bolted. I credit him with the smooth transition to the Buzz years as much as I credit anyone else.

I don't like Vander Blue because my niece said he is a punk. Oh, wait.......

Yikes, I'm guessing you were blasted for that comment. Most would still blast you for that comment.

Wow what a rich history of players. We are lucky fans

MUMBA

Jerel.  

I moved to Milwaukee when the amigos were freshman.  I was in grad school at MU, my wife was an MU grad, and the only people I knew in this town were associated with MU.  Hoops got me through that first, cold winter.  

I took to Jerel because he seemed to be the least heralded of the three, and I loved that he was tough and competitive.  Later in his career, I heard Mike Francessa interviewing Rick Majerus on WFAN in NY during the BE tourney, and Rick said he was surprised Jerel turned out to be any good.  He said he saw Jerel play in high school and thought he had a bad shot.  The fact that he finished atop the all-time leader board and earned All American status was due in large part to his hard work.  

I think Jerel shared the intensity, toughess, and competitiveness that has become a hallmark for MU players in the NBA (Wes, Zar, Jimmy, etc).  I still hope he cracks an NBA roster a bit longer than his short stint last year.

2nd - always liked Jimmy when he was cleaning the glass and Homer would call him "6 foot 9 jimmy butler"

3rd - Zar because he was a peace and justice studies major, which is cool in itself but cooler considering what a bad a$$ he was.

Butch Lee and Steve Novak, met Steve once in a social setting and he and his wife were the nicest people talked MU BB with a drunk for an hour and never flinched.

His Dad is a helluva nice guy, too! Met him in Minneapolis

 Novak's grandparents are nice too.  Must run in the family.

Diener, Wade, and Novak I enjoyed watching all three on offense.

McNeal, Wade, and D James under Crean for defense.

Not counting my whole self, and w/ a serious nod to Brew for the Terry Reason love, and avoiding my current infatuation with this team, I'd have to say Doc.

On first thought, I would go with Dominic as well. He did amazing things.

It was a disgrace how people treated him. Absolute disgrace.

Diener

Prior to Travis it was Anthony Pieper.  Played with a seperated shoulder.  That kid was tough.

+1. Such a pure shooter. No more evident than the UCONN game.

8/13 from three his sophomore year @Louisville is my favorite.

I definitely enjoyed watching Aaron Hutchins, Brian Wardle, Steve Novak and the 3 amigos among others and Ron Curry was smooth and tough as nails.
