10. Wesley Iwundu – Kansas State Wildcats (2014-2017)

Career stats: 9.5 ppg 4.7 rpg 2.8 apg

He started all four seasons for Kansas State but was more of a role player when it came to the offense. That was fine because Iwundu found other ways to impact the game. The 6’7 forward was a good rebounder and underrated passer, as well as an above average defender. He led the Wildcats in scoring his senior season, leading them to the NCAA Tournament.

9. Barry Brown – Kansas State Wildcats (2016-)

Career stats: 12.2 ppg 3.0 rpg 2.4 apg

It’s been a steady climb as a scorer for Brown, who has increased his scoring output by a few points each year. This past season he averaged 15.9 ppg while holding things down while other key players for Kansas State went down with injuries. He had a career-high 38 points in a win over Oklahoma State. Senior season could be huge for both him and Weber.

8. Dean Wade – Kansas State Wildcats (2016-)

Career stats: 11.8 ppg 5.2 rpg 1.9 apg

One of the most talented players to come to Manhattan, Wade had two decent seasons that still left a little to be desired. Junior year was his breakout year, averaging 16.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg while getting rewarded with First-Team All-Big 12 honors. A Final Four may have been in the cards had he been healthy this past postseason.

7. Marcus Foster – Kansas State Wildcats (2014-2018)

Career stats: 16.7 ppg 3.1 rpg 2.4 apg

After averaging 15.5 ppg his freshman season at Kansas State, things soured between Foster and Weber. After suspensions and other problems during his sophomore season, the guard was dismissed from the program. He rebounded to have a good finish at Creighton, but a huge “what if” has to happen for Wildcat fans if things worked out differently.
