Where Would These 8 NBA Stars Have Gone To College?

Andrew Bynum - UConn

Andrew Bynum had committed to UConn, but made the last-minute decision to enter the 2005 NBA Draft; the last season in which high school players were eligible.

The 2005-06 Huskies were so talented that they did not rank outside of the top four all season long. They also boasted six future NBA players. But Jim Calhoun’s most talented squad (arguably) did not win a championship; they never even made it to the Final Four. George Mason denied UConn of a second title in three years.

Bynum has developed into one the top centers in the NBA. Had he spent at least one season in Storrs, the combination of Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong and Bynum would have made for a lethal frontcourt.

Danny is a senior at the University of Connecticut studying journalism. He grew up in the shadows of Storrs; therefore he is a lifelong Husky fan. Favorite memories include watching the Huskies "shock the world," defeating Duke to win the 1999 NCAA title. When Danny is not at Gampel or Rentschler Field, you can find him rooting for his favorite professional teams: the Red Sox, Giants, Celtics, and Bruins. Follow Danny on Twitter @dandanmaher
