11. Sherman Douglas: Syracuse - (1985-89) Washington, DC

Four years: 14.9 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 7.0 apg, 1.7 spg, 53.8% FG, 33.2% 3FG, 69.5% FT

Known as “The General” and for good reason. Douglas, whose only major offer was from the Orange, was the quintessential floor leader. He was mostly known for perfecting the alley-oop pass, but he could also take a game over offensively. When legendary Pearl Washington left early for the pros, many thought the program could never enjoy his equal. Not only did Douglas do that immediately, but many think Douglas may have been better.

As a freshman backup to Washington, Douglas only averaged 5.4 ppg. But when he was handed the reigns as a sophomore, he shocked everybody by averaging 17.3 ppg, 7.6 apg and 1.7 spg, while shooting 53.1% from the field. The Orange made it all the way the National Championship game that year and Douglas was their best player. As a junior, Douglas showed he was not a one year wonder by averaging 16.1 ppg, 8.2 apg, 2.0 spg, and 51.9% from the field. His senior year cemented him as one of the all-time best Big East players when he averaged 18.2 ppg, 8.6 apg, 1.8 spg, and 54.6% from the field. For the first time, Douglas also showed some range, making 39 three pointers for 36.8%. His 326 total assists were the sixth highest total all-time and he also set an NCAA single game assist record when he had 22 against Providence. That record still stands.

Despite not being a starter as a freshman, he still managed to accumulate 2,060 career points, and when he graduated he was the NCAA career assists leader (now 6th). He also ranks 1st in the Big East with his 426 conference assists, and 2nd all-time in Big East assists average with 7.0 apg.

Despite being only a 2nd round pick of the Miami Heat, he played twelve seasons in the NBA for five different teams. His career average was 11.0 ppg.
