Did you ever hear of Roland Minson ….., led Brigham Young to the 1951 National Invitation Tournament title at a time when the NIT winner was considered a national champion on par with today’s NCAA Tournament. Minson averaged 26 points per game in the tournament to take MVP honors. Following the conclusion of the NIT and NCAA Tournaments, Minson was selected to represent the West in the College East-West All-Star game. In his BYU career, Minson scored 1,407 points. At the time of his graduation, this made him the all-time leading scorer in Cougar history - a mark that would stand until Krešimir Ćosić broke it in 1973. Taken with the 15th pick to the New York Knicks, but he went to the Korean war instead.

Or

Mel Hutchins …..played for Milwaukee, Fort Wayne and the New York Knicks. In 1952, as a rookie, he was the co-leader of the NBA in total rebounds with 880, averaging 13 per game. Mel and Wilt Chamberlain were the only rookies in NBA history to lead the league in rebounding.
