7. Myles Stephens

A 6’5 wing from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Stephens had a big role in Princeton’s backcourt during his college career. He was a big handful on offense between 2015 and 2019 for the Tigers, contributing to plenty of success for the program in that time.

After coming off the bench as a freshman, he helped lead the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament as a sophomore, scoring a then-career-high 23 points against Yale in the Ivy League title game. He averaged 15.3 points and 6.3 rebounds a game as a junior, making 41% of his 3-pointers, including 30 points in a road win at USC. He was impactful again as a senior, though Princeton wouldn’t get back to the postseason again.

Stephens made a certain impact all over the court. He was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore in that Tournament season, while also earning First Team All-Ivy honors as both a sophomore and senior. He was an above-average scorer with good rebounding and shot-blocking numbers. Frankly, Stephens was a bit of an underrated weapon even with those honors and certainly was responsible for plenty of success at Princeton.
