A two-time NBA All-Star, Caron Butler garnered significant attention when in 2002 he led UConn to an Elite 8 appearance and was named the co-Big East Player of the Year.  He would be selected by the Miami Heat as a lottery pick but it was when he moved to the Washington Wizards where he would have his greatest individual success.  The Small Forward would have a pair of 20 Points per Game seasons (2006-07 & 2007-08) and in both of those campaigns he would be named an All Star and was a top five finisher in Steals per Game.  He would later help the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 NBA Championship.

Richard “Rip” Hamilton brings a rare resume where he won both the NCAA Championship (UConn) and in the NBA (Detroit) and was a vital member to both titles. Hamilton earned the NCAA Final Four MVP in the Connecticut title and in the 2004 Pistons Championship averaged over 20 Points per Game. “Rip” was a three time All Star, a slick shooter, and had he had a better defensive game Hamilton might be a considered a shot for the Hall of Fame. As it looks now, it might be a difficult road.
