24. George Mikan — DePaul (1943-46)
Sporting glasses and the No. 99, the 6-foot-10 Mikan was a pioneer in terms of the way big men played the game. A two-time National Player of the Year choice, Mikan averaged 19.1 points but was also a force defending the rim and cleaning the glass. That mix of offensive and defensive dominance was a rarity at the time by college post players.
