There have been so many great players to play at the University of Kansas and most from this list have had a long career in the NBA. If this team were to go against any other all-time college team, this would be a tough one to beat.

Who's coaching?

Brock Humphrey, obviously. It is HIS All-Kansas team, after all.

Not James Naismith?

Naismith was their only losing coach, so I doubt it. You would have to go with the father of basketball coaching, Phog Allen.

While those players all enjoyed successful NBA careers, were they the best at their positions during college? Or is this the all-time which Kansas players went on to stellar professional careers list?

This is the best at their positions while at KU, like Jeff Boschee was good at kansas but didn't really have an NBA career at all, and if there was a coach it probably be Phog Allen

I'd consider Aaron Miles since he's the Big 12 all-time assist leader (I think he still is).

No Drew Gooden?

I love Kansas basketball but to say PP leads the way is crazy. I never saw Wilt play a game at Kansas so I wont say anything about him but Danny Manning was better college player and meant more to that program then Paul ever did and I love Pual Pierce

Drew Gooden might have been on there if he stayed longer but Lafrentz and Simien were better while they were there, and i thought having Pierce in the headline would be known by more then Manning (considering Pierce is in the finals and all too) but Manning was better then Pierce at KU.

Dude, you gotta get Mario Chalmers in there.
It's not like he was some no-name who hit an important shot.
I love Boschee, but I think you have no choice but to put Mario ahead of him.
He was one of the best, if not the best, players on this years title team, who hit the biggest shot in history.
Also Drew Gooden could squeeze in there somewhere.
Juju- I see where you're at- but he is kind of questionable- especially since he was only a 'hawk for two years.
