Random Jayhawk trivia questions!
-
I found a nice resource for all the Jayhawks who have played in the NBA.
I assume it’s up to date.
So, to beat the summer doldrums i’ll pose some trivia questions to see if anybody can or wants to answer – without looking up the answers! These questions all pertain to past Jayhawks.
Once we get a correct answer, i’ll post another.
QUESTION
Of all the Jayhawks and ONLY Jayhawks who have played in the NBA, who ranks SECOND in rebounds per game average?
-
Hmmm just a guess… Scot Pollard?
-
Paul Pierce ?
-
Embiid
No one is catching Wilt.
-
Close, but no cigars yet…
-
(may take a guess from somebody who’s been around the block a few times or so to answer this one)
-
Clyde Lovellette?
-
-
This one may be too hard.
The correct answer is: Bill Bridges, who edged out Joel Embiid 11.9 to 11.0 in career rebounds per game
Bridges was at KU 58-61?

Soo close! Lovellette just missed the cut…so who is the fifth?

Wiggins for the win!
Wilt – 30.1
Embiid – 27.7
Pierce – 19.7
Wiggins – 18.5

QUESTION
This is a real close one, but name the Jayhawk with the best assists per game average in the NBA.

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

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.
