Georgia Tech's All-Time Best Point Guards

As a Georgia Tech basketball fan, it is suffice to say that the Yellow Jackets have provided a lot of exciting basketball over the years. One of the main reasons for their success is their ability to recruit dynamic point guards.

Over the last 25 years, Georgia Tech has been involved in two Final Fours and many NCAA tournament appearances. Additionally, many of the Yellow Jackets' point guards have gone on to have successful NBA careers.

The following is a list of the Top 5 all-time point guards here at Georgia Tech:

1. Mark Price: Bobby Cremins had put together some solid teams during his tenure at Georgia Tech and one of the reasons for the Yellow Jackets' success during the early-to-mid 1980's was Mark Price.

Price become an All American twice during his time at Georgia Tech and was perennial All-ACC performer. One of his biggest accomplishments as a collegian was guiding the Yellow Jackets in his junior year to an ACC championship over Dean Smith's University of North Carolina team. Price's jersey is now retired and after a successful college career, he was drafted as the 25th pick by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft. Subsequently, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers and had played nearly a decade for the very successful Cavs.

2. Kenny Anderson: Anderson was from New York and his recruitment was one of the most anticipated in school history. When he committed to Bobby Cremins' Georgia Tech team, people knew that Rambling Wreck was a team to watch out for and Anderson didn't disappoint.

Anderson quickly adjusted and became the starting point guard and had other All-American teammates in Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver, who were known as Lethal Weapon 3. Every game was must-see TV throughout the regular season, especially against Duke and North Carolina.

The famous Final Four run in 1990 included a thrilling overtime win over Michigan State.

Anderson only stayed two years at Georgia Tech and was drafted by the New Jersey Nets.

3. Jarrett Jack: Jack was instrumental in leading Coach Paul Hewitt's team all the way to the national championship game in 2004 as a sophomore. It was a historic run for the program. Jack played three years at Georgia Tech, but he got better every year. The 6'3" was an athletic guard with size who was able to go virtually anywhere on the court. His leadership skills were a great attribute and was never afraid to take the big shot.

4. Travis Best: Best was a very productive point guard for Georgia Tech who sometimes get overlooked, but was instrumental in leading Georgia Tech to the 1993 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. It had been the first in six years, dating back to 1990.

Best is among a select few in the Atlantic Coast Conference who had scored more than 2,000 points and dished out at least 600 assists.

The 5'11" point guard from Springfield, Massachusetts was chosen in the first round as the 23rd overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft.

5. Stephon Marbury: Marbury was definitely an impact player during his first and only year at Georgia Tech. It would have been interesting to see how far he could have taken the Yellow Jackets if he stayed at least three years. Marbury was a heavily recruited player and came to Atlanta after the departure of Travis Best.

In Marbury's only season, he helped to lead the team to a 24'"12 record and an NCAA appearance in which they had eventually succumb to Cincinnati, 87-70.

Marbury started his NBA playing career with the Minnesota Timbervolves and became an All-Star with the New Jersey. Nets.
