NCAA Basketball: Top 15 programs that produces great NBA players
By Josh Stevens
No. 4 – Georgetown
The Hoyas are a school I am going to give the nickname of ” Center Heaven” to. Oh, and this is the university Allen Iverson went to. But, here is a list of some of their bigs Dikembe Mutombo, Roy Hibbert, Alonzo Mourning, and Patrick Ewing. While Mutombo and Hibbert were not offensive threats like Mourning and Ewing man they could play some defense.
Mutombo averaged almost three blocks a game, but his average was brought down in his last few seasons. Hibbert was just under two blocks, but many drivers knew what he could do, so many avoided him. He stood at 7’2″, and he was fairly mobile early on. Hibbert was hit by the injury bug early on in his career that really derailed him.
Iverson would just look at you and break your ankles, Ewing would show up and score 20, and Mourning was a double-double threat every time he stepped onto the court. They also have in the NBA right now Otto Porter Jr and will most likely see Jessie Govan get a shot as an undrafted rookie. The Hoyas have fallen off the map recently so they are not a school that would come to mind, at least not as a top-five school at producing pros.
