136. David West

David West is arguably one of the best (if not the best) players that Xavier ever had.  As a Musketeer, the Power Forward was named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year three times (2001-03) and was also named the AP National Player of the Year in 2003. 

79. Deron Williams

The third overall pick of the 2005 NBA Draft, Deron Williams had taken the University of Illinois Fighting Illini to the NCAA Championship Game prior to being drafted.  While Illinois lost to UNC, Williams established himself as a future NBA Star, which was what he would become. 

132. Caron Butler

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.

131. Andre Miller

Andre Miller is one of the best professional basketball players who was never was chosen for the All Star Game.  Miller was a former WAC Player of the Year (1999) and as an NBA player the former 8th overall Draft Pick of 1999 would later win the NBA Assists title in the 2001-02 season and was in the top ten in that stat seven other times.  The Guard would have four NBA seasons where he had over 16 Points per Game.
