Butler Basketball: Top-10 Bulldogs of the century (2000-2018)
5. Andrew Chrabascz (2013 – 2017)
Career Stats (4 years): 9.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game
In four years with the Butler program, Andrew Chrabascz never led the team in scoring for a season. Yet, this did not stop him from having a major impact on every team that he was a part of. For more than just a few reasons, Chrabascz was the heart and soul of Butler hoops while on campus. An under-the-radar recruit who blossomed into an elite big man, he epitomized the program.
What made Chrabascz so special was his versatility. Even though he was never the most athletic player on the floor, the offense could always run through him due to his elite passing and ability to stretch the floor out to 3-point range. Although mostly seen as a player with crafty footwork and finishes around the basket, the 6’7″ forward buried 36.3% of his 3-pointers during his career. In addition, his passing ability was tremendous, as he most notably dished out 3.1 assists per game as a senior.
Chrabascz was on the first four Butler teams as a member of the Big East. Although he may not have been instrumental in the conference switch, he played a major role in pushing the Bulldogs to relevancy in the new league almost immediately. He played in three NCAA Tournaments during his Butler career and was the senior leader on the team that received a program-high No. 4 seed in 2016-17.
In total, Chrabascz started 104 games in a Butler uniform, tallied 1,271 points, and was a first-team All-Big East selection in his final season.
