Stratton- Some may not like having Napier this high, but one thing that cannot be disputed is the fact that he was a key player in not one but two national championship runs. Winning a title at UConn gives Okafor legend status and his elite statistics reaffirm his spot and placement on this list.

These stats placed Okafor on the All-Big East team in all three years and won him the Big East Player of the Year twice. He was also one of the biggest defensive forces in Husky history, swatting over four shots per game. During his three year career, the center averaged 13.8 points and 10.6 boards, which are purely dominant numbers. Stratton- Plain and simple, Okafor was that guy on UConn’s second national championship team in 2004. Oh, and how could we forget Walker’s game winning shot against Pitt’ in 2010, one of the greatest shots in college basketball history. Even in his last year with the team, the NBA guard averaged 23.5 points and solidified his spot in Huskies history with impressive statistics across the board. During his UConn career, the guard earned not only a NCAA Championship on one of the best UConn teams of all time, but also earned multiple Big East honors on top of that.

Kemba WalkerĮvan- Cardiac Kemba is one of the most decorated Huskies of all time during his time at UConn. Don’t be surprised to see his number 32 follow Ray Allen’s footsteps and be retired in the near future. Aside from being the best player on UConn’s first ever national championship team in 1999, Hamilton was the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament and won Big East Player of the Year twice. The guard averaged 21.5 ppg in each of his final two seasons as a husky and racked up the accolades while winning games. Stratton- Rip Hamilton is in the number one spot simply because of his pure dominance while at UConn. Although there are many deserving players, sports columnists Evan Rodriguez and Stratton Stave narrowed it down to just 10 in what can be described as the Calhoun-Championship Era. In these years and those before, Jim Calhoun recruited an elite set of players that allowed the team to reach such heights. Over the last few decades, the UConn Huskies have established themselves as one of the premier programs in college basketball, with no other school collecting more national championships since 1999.
