The NBA's best players in the Big Ten

These are the best players in the NBA, college basketball in a Big Ten school played. The players entered by their score in the NBA. Although we make for the leading scorer in NBA history in the 40th to go the first player in Big Ten is to find an impressive list.

Half of these players are in the Hall of Fame. Half also won the University Championships and won half of the NBA championships and four of them won.
Four of those players were taken with the first choice in the NBA Draft.
My favorite team in the NBA, the New Jersey Nets, has produced two players on a Big Ten school in the first round. In 1981, Ray Tolbert was drafted with pick 18 overall victories and in 1987, Dennis Hopson was created with the third overall selection. Select does not really work. Hopson was good for a few years, but Tolbert was completely broke.
