Top 10 UCLA Basketball Players

S. E. Masters
Once upon a time, the UCLA men's basketball program was the best, winning an unmatched 11 NCAA national championships under coach John Wooden. They put fear in their opponents, especially at Pauley Pavilion. Bruin basketball produced a lot of talent on the collegiate level and brought fundamentally sound players with winning standards to the NBA.

It's the time of year when the NCAA Tournament is a rock throw away. It's a time when the best standout. Below are the top 10 UCLA basketball players. Six of the names (*) were awarded the Oscar Robertson Trophy, honoring the best collegiate basketball player of the year. Some well known names don't make the top ten, but at one time UCLA flooded the NBA with standout players. "The Den" (the student section at Pauley Pavilion) would agree.

1. Lew Alcindor * (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)
2. Bill Walton *
3. Sidney Wicks *
4. Marques Johnson *
5. Walt Hazzard * (Mahdi Abdul-Rahman)
6. Keith Wilkes (Jamaal Wilkes)
7. Ed O'Bannon *
8. Kiki Vandeweghe
9. David Myers
10. Reggie Miller
