Paul Silas (Creighton, 1961-1964)

It is not at all a stretch to say that Paul Silas was dominant when he was at Creighton. Check out his nightly production to know that he was in elite company. There are only five NCAA players to have an average of at least 20 points and 20 rebounds per game, and he was one of them. Even though he had a great output level and the career numbers to boot, he was named an All-American pick just once in his college career. We bet that he would be deemed a top-10 player had he been playing for a powerhouse school like UCLA.

Michael Jordan (North Carolina, 1981-1984)

Fair enough, the college career averages of Michael Jordan do not hold a candle to many of the guys on the list. Even so, his clutch shooting, defensive skills, and ability to outshine some of the biggest stars in the ‘80s make him deserving of a spot on our list. During his time at UNC, he led the team to victory at the NCAA Championship in 1982. He was an All-American pick not just once but twice. In 1984, he was named the National Collegiate Player of the Year. Of course, we all know how well his NBA career went!
