No. 13 – LSU

The Tigers are a school that is the complete opposite of Florida. They do not produce a high number of NBA caliber players, but when they do produce one, he tends to stand out. Think Shaq, Pete Maravich, Bob Pettit, and Ben Simmons. All of those players are great at what they do. Each of them are All-Stars, three are in the Hall Of Fame, and Ben Simmons has already won the rookie of the year. It is scary to think about Maravich if he would have played when they had a three-point line, as many consider him one of the best shooters of all time.

Perhaps the weakest part of the Tigers is that they do not have a lot of NBA depth. They do have a few good role players in the NBA though. Players like Glen Davis, Brandon Bass, and Marcus Thornton. The LSU Tigers are a school that I think people just think of Shaq when they hear about them, but I am here to stay they are much more than just him.

They even have a chance to produce more this year as a few of their players from this seasons team is going to the draft and I think some of them have a chance to play for up to a decade.
