SKIP WISE

CLEMSON (1974-75)

Wise averaged 18.5 points and was the first freshman named first-team All-ACC. Signed with the Baltimore Claws of the ABA (his hometown), but the franchise folded before playing a game. A history of drug and legal problems limited his pro career to two games -- a grand total of 10 minutes -- with the San Antonio Spurs, then in the ABA, during the 1975-76 season.

STEPHON MARBURY

GEORGIA TECH (1995-96)

A first-team All-ACC selection, Marbury scored 18.9 points per game and led Georgia Tech to a 13-3 ACC record. Taken with the fourth overall pick (Milwaukee) in the 1996 NBA Draft, Marbury is in his 11th NBA season with his fifth team, the New York Knicks.

COREY MAGGETTE

DUKE (1998-99)

The sixth man on the Devils' 37-2 team that lost in the 1999 national title game to UConn. Maggette left Duke before the NCAA ruled he illegally took money from his summer-league coach. The 13th pick of the 1999 draft (Seattle), he has spent the past seven seasons with the L.A. Clippers and has averaged 15.1 points per game during his eight-year career.

CHRIS BOSH

GEORGIA TECH (2002-03)

Bosh surprised college coach Paul Hewitt by leaving after one season. In just his fourth NBA season, Bosh has turned into one of the league's best players. The fourth pick of the 2003 NBA Draft (Toronto) averages 22.7 points.

LUOL DENG

DUKE (2003-04)

Deng helped Duke reach the 2004 Final Four. Phoenix took him with the seventh pick of 2004 NBA Draft and traded him to Chicago. Deng has become one of the league's most versatile players, averaging 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

MARVIN WILLIAMS

UNC (2004-05)

Williams didn't start one game for the Tar Heels but scored the winning basket in the 2005 national title game against Illinois. The second pick of the 2005 NBA Draft (Atlanta), injuries have slowed his progress, although he's averaging 12.7 points in his second season.
