Correct. I originally did the question with Anderson Hunt in mind — that UNLV team was pretty memorable so figured somebody might get it.

But found out there was one other when verifying the Q, so I had to ask for 1 of 2, in case somebody surprisingly answered Donald Williams of UNC.

Never would have gotten Donald Williams but now that you mention I do remember him. Obviously not as much as I remember Jerry Stackhouse or Rasheed Wallace. Damn that ACC basketball had some powerhouse teams in the early 90's.

I wish I were from a town called Speedy Creek

In the early 1990's, it was uncommon for even star players from the NCAA to declare for the draft before completing their Junior year.

Before the early 1970's, Freshmen were not eligible to play for NCAA Varsity teams. The 1972 NBA Draft was the first to include Underclassmen, mostly because non-Senior star players were being poached by the ABA.

Here is a comparison of the first 30 selections in the 1972, 1996 and 2022 NBA Drafts, totals by prior team:

Prior Team	1972	1996	2022
High School	0	2	0
Foreign	0	5	2
Freshman	0	2	12
Sophomore	0	5	8
Junior	2	4	5
Senior	26	12	1
Other	2 (ABA)	0	2 (G League)

We saw powerhouse teams in the NCAA before the mid 90's because the players played with each other for more than a single season.
