NBA starter from UL

[CajunNation]

He came to us from Florida. Transfered. Played 2 solid years. I think he is over seas now. He was one of my favorite players of all time. Prototypical, big point guard. The glory days of Cajuns basketball *sigh*

Trust me, my friend, Those were not the glory days of Cajun basketball.

I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah I say we just cheat again... atleast it was fun to go to the games.

_ For significant playing time you might have to go back to Kevin Brooks.

For key component of a team you might have to go all the way back to Andrew Toney. And it has already been 20 years since his heyday.

I agree, Tony was probably the only real significant player ever from U(S)L.
Bo played a little in the NBA but was not much of a factor. Marvin Winkler before him played a little for Indianapolis in the old ABA.

Theres not much doubt that Toney was the most influential pro player from the school. Bo was likely the best player to ever play here.

If not for the false rumor about his heart, Dwayne Mitchell would probably be seeing significant playing time somewhere.

It is so hard to break into the NBA when you go undrafted.

Tiras Wade if he would of stayed one more year he might of get pick high in the draft. Lonnie Thomas, Anthony Johnson, Chris Manuel, David Dees, Antoine Landry,Reggie Poole & Kendall Regis, Michael Allen

One of the reasons I started this thread is because I really couldn't remember a lot of former USL/UL players in the league. Which is a bit surprising to me because USL/UL has fielded some good teams over the years with a lot of athleticism. Also, there are a lot of mid-major guys that have made an impact in the NBA throughout the years.

It wasn't just Shipley's best teams that were the glory days.

Pascal and Fletcher both had muti-year runs with better squads than Evans.

Fred Saunders played in the NBA after the probation & one year ar Syracuse from the team with Bo Lamar.
