Guy McIntyre was a Third Round Pick in 1984 from the University of Georgia, but he was not used as a starter in his first four seasons, but rather a Special Teams and role player.

Scott May had about as good a year as you could in 1975-76 when he was a senior at Indiana.  Playing at Small Forward for the Bobby Knight coached team, May took the Hoosiers to an undefeated season, an NCAA Championship, and was the consensus MVP.  The nearby Chicago Bulls took May with the Second Overall Pick that year.

The 1988 SEC Player of the Year at Vanderbilt, Will Perdue, was Chicago 1^stRound Pick (11^thOverall), where the Center would become Bill Cartwright's backup for six years.

Keith Fahnhorst stood at 6’ 6” and tipped the scales at 275 pounds, so he brought a lot of size to the San Francisco 49ers who drafted him in the Second Round of the 1974 Draft.
