All-Time Best Basketball Players from the Big East

Last night I was flipping through the channels and came across a program highlighting the all-time best basketball players from the Big East.  Needless to say, I stopped.

Growing up on Long Island, I was a huge St. Johns fan...back when they were The Redmen!  I was fortunate to have attended a few Big East tournament match-ups in Madison Square Garden.  Instant classics between St. Johns and Georgetown during the mid 80's were unforgettable.

#1 and #2 on the list are no surprise.  I think there is room for debate on the rest of the top 10...or, at the very least, debate on where they fall on the list.

10 - Eric "Sleepy" Floyd

9 - Kerry Kittles

8 - Ray Allen

7 - Richard Hamilton

6 - Dwayne "Pearl" Washington

5 - Walter Berry

4 - Derrick Coleman

3 - Allen Iverson

2 - Chris Mullin

1 - Patrick Ewing

Thoughts?

I assume this list is based on these players record of accomplishment as a Big east player only. If yes, then Iverson is off the list - he only played one year. How about Okafor of UConn -only an NCAA champ and #1 pick in draft? Carmelo Anthony belongs there before Iverson - one year and an NCAA champ.

Big East is more of team conference than a player conference IMHO.
