A two-time consensus first-team All-American at Kansas State, Bob Boozer averaged a double-double in his 77-game career with 21.9 points and 10.7 rebounds from 1956-1959. He averaged 25.6 points as a senior, leading the Wildcats to an undefeated Big Eight record and the final No. 1 ranking in the AP poll. The versatile 6’ 8” forward was selected No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Royals, but he postponed his NBA career for one year so that he could compete in and win gold in the 1960 Summer Olympics. Boozer would go on to be an NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks before retiring from a long, successful career.
