Which college superstar do you think topped our list?

Published 6:24 PM EST Dec 11, 2019

From the beginning of the decade, when Anthony Davis powered Kentucky to a national title, to the end, when Duke's Zion Williamson provided a spectacular highlight reel, college basketball has entertained fans with a wide array of game-changing athletes. Several college stars lifted their teams to memorable March Madness moments. And while the one-and-done era only gives us a short season with future NBA superstars, their imprint still becomes stamped on the college game. For some NCAA standouts who didn't become NBA stars, their greatness is best remembered in school record books.1. Zion Williamson, Duke

This isn't because Zion's brief college career remains a fresh memory. Williamson would have been in contention for player of the decade whether he played in 2010 or 2019, and his imprint on the sport will likely still resonate a decade from now. While the 6-foot-6, 285-pound bowling ball-type forward didn’t carry the Blue Devils to a national championship, he had one of the finest college basketball seasons of the one-and-done era, averaging 22.6 points and 8.9 rebounds a game.
