Georgetown Basketball: Top 10 players that played for John Thompson II

3. Eric “Sleepy” Floyd

Career stats: 17.7 ppg and 2.7 apg

One of the most consistent players ever to put on a Hoya uniform, Floyd put up all-conference numbers in all four years. His worst year was as a freshman, putting up 16.6 ppg. His teams won 20+ games each season, with Floyd being the only one ever to lead them in scoring each time.

The three-time All-Big East contributor filled up the stat sheets throughout, including surprisingly leading the Hoyas in blocks as a sophomore. He shot a whopping 55% from the field that year as well, playing years before the three-point line had been introduced in college basketball. With a stroke as his, Floyd could’ve averaged over 20 ppg all four seasons.

Floyd was an All-American in his senior campaign, scoring 16.7 ppg and producing in the team’s run to the national championship game. That included a 22-point effort to beat Oregon State to make the Final Four. He had 18 in the title game versus UNC although the team fell short in the end.

Where Floyd didn’t fall short was in the record books, where he still leads the program all-time in scoring at 2,304 points. He’s over 100 points from No. 2 and considering how most stars leave early, his record will likely stick around for decades to come. There were plenty of stars on the roster with Floyd but his numbers and supreme consistency will possibly never be duplicated in the sport.
