Ivy League Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)
By Joey Loose
22. Siyani Chambers
Chambers is a 6’0 point guard from Golden Valley, Minnesota who found his own success in the Ivy League. His collegiate career started at Harvard back in 2012. He was the starting point guard for the Crimson for the next three seasons but tore his ACL and missed what would have been his senior year, though he was back for one final year after that.
Chambers’ freshman season came more than a decade ago and featured his best numbers, but there’s still plenty to talk about. He scored 11 points in an NCAA Tournament upset win over Cincinnati during his sophomore year. He averaged right around 10 points a game in his upperclassmen seasons, including another trip to the Big Dance as a junior.
He’d actually lead the Ivy League in assists in all four of his seasons on the court. He was Second Team All-Ivy in his sophomore and junior seasons and earned First Team honors as a senior, bouncing back nicely after that leg injury. Also among the league’s best in steals and some defensive metrics, Chambers was a total package for the Crimson, helping guide the program to three NCAA Tournaments, including two in the last decade.
