38: Alvin Sims

Sims was one of the more important players of the 1990s. He is tied for 7th in all-time dunks and is fifth all-time in steals. He was a bully through the lane and was a really tough guard for average build defenders on the wing.

37: Montrezl Harrell

33: Luke Hancock

“Luuuuuuke” played at Louisville for two years, earning respect as a team captain and vocal leader on the floor. As a junior he went off in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, winning a championship and earning Tournament MOP honors.

32: Ellis Myles

Ellis was a beastly low-post player. The sixth all-time career rebounds leader started 110 games as a Cardinal, 37 of which in the 2005 Final Four season. He shot 51.7 percent from the field and 8 rebounds per game in his career.

31: Herbert Crook
