The son of former ABA player, Walt Szczerbiak, Wally Szczerbiak was sixth overall by the T-Wolves after being named the MAC Player of the Year.  The former University of Miami Redhawk would make First Team All-Rookie honors and in his third year, he would have his best ever campaign in the National Basketball Association.  That year, Szczerbiak would make the All-Star Team.  As a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Szczerbiak would finish in the top ten in Effective Field Goal Percentage three times and in Field Goal Percentage twice.
The main go-to player for the Minnesota Timberwolves for years, Kevin Love may not have been able to take his team to the playoffs but he was thought to be one of the best Power Forwards in the game.  Before he would become the “third option” and an NBA Champion in Cleveland, Love would become a two-time Second Team All-NBA Selection and a three-time All-Star.  Love did not exactly leave Minnesota on the best of terms, as he was upset that Minnesota was never a contender but it was not for the lack of effort from the former UCLA Bruin.
This might be one of the easiest top choice that we ever had to decide on.  
We can hear the anger from some of you now.  Eric Dickerson, the Hall of Fame Running Back was not exactly the model player in terms of behavior as suspensions, attitude and decline certainly made him less of a player than he was with the Los Angeles Rams.  Still, this is a player who won the Rushing Title as a Colt and still had two First Team All-Pro Selections with Indianapolis.  That is enough to earn him a spot here.

Dickerson entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Colts responded by enshrining the star into their Ring of Honor in 2013.
