No vegetation growing over that quartet.
Mount the Rocket and Robinson the Big Dog both had scoring averages in the 30s -- a level Jaden Ivey never reached even in one game. Mount and Carroll led Final Four teams. Wooden was a consensus three-time All-American with a consensus national championship, long before coaching 10 more for UCLA. Robinson was the consensus national player of the year. All four were consensus first-team All-Americans -- another level that eluded Ivey.
NBA po-tential? Carroll and Robinson both were the No. 1 overall picks in their NBA Drafts. Russell Cross was a No. 6. Herman Gilliam went No. 8. Dave Schellhase and Keith Edmonson were both No. 10s. Beyond mocks and projections, actual lottery slots are not new for Purdue.
NBA performance? Carroll, Robinson, Terry Dischinger and Brad Miller were NBA All-Stars. Gilliam, Robinson, Paul Hoffman, Frank Kendrick, Jerry Sichting and Brian Cardinal were NBA Champions. Dischinger, Gilliam, Sichting, Carroll, Robinson, Miller, Cardinal, Carl Landry and E’Twaun Moore each played in the NBA from eight to 14 years and appeared in 500 to 868 games (Miller), except for Cardinal (456 games before his ring).
Jaden Ivey does join Caleb Swanigan and Carsen Edwards on our newer Mt. Rush-off.
