Kellen Dunham (2013-16)

One of the best scorers in program history, Kellen Dunham was an immediate contributor as a sniper from the moment he took the court for Butler. A local product out of Pendleton, IN, you would be hard-pressed to find many better shooters in the country than Dunham during his collegiate career. “Downpour Dunham”, as he was nicknamed, finished his career with 299 made 3-pointers (38.5% accuracy). He was particularly elite from distance during his upperclassmen years but could always be counted on as a perimeter sniper.

Dunham, though, was more than just a shooter as he finished his fair share of possessions inside the arc as well. The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 16+ points per game in each of his final three seasons en route to currently holding the No. 4 spot on the all-time scoring list in program history. Dunham started 109 of his 134 games with the Dawgs and was twice selected to an All-Big East team. He was a highly-regarded recruit out of high school and lived up to the hype.

Roosevelt Jones (2012-2016)

Arguably the most unique player of the decade, Roosevelt Jones was unorthodox but extremely effective over the course of his career with Butler. With a bruising 6-foot-4 frame and a do-it-all-except-shooting style, Jones did not necessarily play a specific position for the Dawgs but was a consistent presence on the floor. He started in 134 of 139 games with the program and averaged double-figures as a scorer in each of his last three seasons.

His senior campaign, though, was definitely his most impressive with averages of 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Butler reached the NCAA Tournament in three of his four healthy seasons (missed 2013-14 due to injury) and he paired exceptionally well with Dunham while they were both seniors. Jones was a two-time Second Team All-Big East selection and he also hit one of the most memorable shots in program history:
