- 2014
Oregon’s two-time prep player of the year and 1997 state scoring champion was considered to be the spark to jump-start Ernie Kent’s efforts to resurrect a program that had advanced to the NCAA tournament only once in the previous 38 years. The high-flying artist proved to be at his best in the open court and would dazzle fans and opponents alike with his ability to finish a fast break high above the rim with a thunderous dunk. The 2002 first-team Pac-10 all-conference standout and three-year starter finished fifth in the conference in scoring as a senior (18.6 avg.) for a team that won a share of its first conference title in 57 years and advanced to the 2002 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. He also played a key role in the Ducks’ 2000 NCAA tournament run prior to earning third-team All-America acclaim and a spot among the 2002 Wooden Award finalists. Scoring a single-game high 36 points on two separate occasions, he completed his collegiate tenure becoming Oregon’s first player ever to rank among the top 10 in eight different career statistical categories. His 650 points scored as a senior ranked second on the program’s all-time single-season list and he graduated as the fifth-leading scorer (1,644 points) in school history. The first-team all-district choice also broke the Ducks’ single-season standard for most free throws made as well as equaled the school record for most steals in one year. The 14th pick in the 2002 NBA Draft enjoyed a seven-year NBA career before being inducted into the Pac-12 Conference’s Hall of Honor in 2014.
