QUESTION
This is a real close one, but name the Jayhawk with the best assists per game average in the NBA.
-
Wilt Chamberlain
-
I want it to be Jacque! But I’d guess it’s Jojo.
-
-
Wilt is in the running, but no winners yet…
-
And remember, it’s super duper close.

1st guess: Kirk Heinrich
2nd guess: Mario Chalmers
-
Nick Collison

Bzzz. But Hinrich is a good guess. Just a sliver behind the leader.
I’ll offer a clue to those i know on the board (ha) … it was a few years before my time at KU.
-
Darnell Valentine?
-

Darnell Valentine?
Valentine 5.0 apg is just ahead of JoJo white’s 4.9
-
Valentine for the win! Yea, those numbers were fractionally close.
-
QUESTION
Which Jayhawk has the most career 3 pointers made?
-
Billy Thomas! Forget the NBA!!! Also missed 12 attempts in one game before that was cool.

Billy Thomas! Now that’s a Good, positive memory.
-
I really hope we can build some good positive memories with the crew this year.

talkin NBA stats here…but spot on for KU only stats!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I’d assume it’d be Pierce by a lot.
-
@approxinfinity Yeah, but it’s hard to build a lot of memories in 6 months.
-
Devonte Graham? He was prolific in a short time.
-

Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing. we have a winner!
Paul Pierce with 2,143 made 3pters
Marcus Morris (go figure) with 1,300.
Hinrich with 1,172.
-
This should be an easy one…but a footnote: Don’t guess Wilt. Not sure they kept those stats back then.
QUESTION
Which Jayhawk has the most blocks in the NBA?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Embiid. Is my guess. But it would be great if it was Ostertag.
-
Paul mokeski

Embiid is incorrect.
However…Ostertag it is!
-
Ostertag with 1293
Raef with 919
Manning with 752
Pierce with 745
Embiid with 738

QUESTION
Which Jayhawk has played the most NBA games?
-
DeJuan Harris?
-
Whoops – NBA. I rescind my guess and promise to undergo reading rehabilitation before posting again.
-
Wilt had a long run in the NBA. If it’s not Wilt, probably Pierce given all the years and playoffs (and the seasons were longer too).

Paul Pierce for the win! 1,343
Wilt next up with 1,045
-
Not too many exciting NBA stats left. But, before we go:
QUESTION
How many Jayhawks have played in the NBA/ABA?
-
I’m guessing 40-45
-
-
Exactly 73
-
Ostertag as the block leader probably needs an asterisk since Wilt would be leading if blocks were a recorded stat back then
-
-
Maybe a lot more in the ABA than I realized. When you give the answer, it would be interesting to see the ABA/NBA breakdown.
Also, in the 20 years from 1970 - 1989 I’d be surprised if there were more than 10 Jayhawks in the pros. Wilt was still playing at the front-end of that period and Danny Manning was a rookie at the back-end. That’s two. You’ve got Jo-Jo and Robisch, Valentine, Dreiling, Prichard, Chris Piper and maybe even Scooter Barry made it into the league. That’s 9 maybe. Most had short careers in the pros.
As a fan, it seemed like a desert in that period.

Ok. Wow. (I am surprised.) Who am I missing? Do I have those right?
-
The site I’m using sadly doesn’t break it down obviously between NBA and ABA. So, would require some extra footwork to see.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Unofficially Wilt. Officially probably Joel

Self guys I can come up with
Jalen Wilson Ochai Braun Frank Mason Devonte Graham Cheick Diallo lol Xavier Henry Wiggins Embiid Selden Mario BRush DJackson Sasha Kauhn Darrell Arthur Sherron Collins Cole Aldrich Marcus Morris Markeif Morris Tyshawn? Thomas Robinson T. Black Devon Dotson Dok
I was thinking his number was closer to 45 - I didn’t include guys that Roy recruited, so it may be lower. I’m sure there are some obvious omissions.
