First Team Consensus All-American (1982)

A great athlete and terrific all-around player that somehow got overlooked by the ACC schools. The 6’3” shooting guard, who paired with Patrick Ewing to make one of the best tandems in conference history, was known by everyone as “Sleepy”, a name he got because of his distinct hooded eyelids.

As a freshman he was paired with all-stars John Duren and Craig Shelton, but still led the team in scoring with 16.6 ppg, while also adding an impressive 4.1 rpg, 1.9 spg, and 81.3% from the free throw line. For his sophomore season, the Big East was born and Floyd was among the first stars, ending the season with 18.7 ppg, 2.3 spg, 75.7% from the free throw line and an amazing field goal percentage for a guard of 55.4%. During his junior season, Floyd had career highs of 19.0 ppg and 4.2 rpg, while also adding 1.9 spg and shooting 80.6% from the line. As a senior, Patrick Ewing arrived and both led the Hoyas to the NCAA Championship Game where they lost to a North Carolina team that featured Michael Jordan and James Worthy. While Floyd’s numbers dropped as a senior, he was named a 1st Team All-American thanks to his 16.7 ppg and 1.7 spg.

For his career, he amassed 2,304 points, still the best in program history, and that was accomplished before the three point shot. Floyd was the 13th overall pick by the New Jersey Nets and played thirteen years in the NBA. He was a one time all-star and still holds the NBA playoff record for scoring 29 points in one quarter. Even more impressive was that the feat was accomplished against the Los Angeles Lakers team of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and in a small measure of revenge, James Worthy.
