They produced in the NBA, but how good were their college teams?
Posted Jun 12, 2019
The most NBA points of any college team in history belonged to the 1984 Tar Heels. Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty, Kenny Smith, Joe Wolf and Dave Popson combined for 69,963 NBA points. That team lost to Indiana in the regional semifinals. But North Carolina’s 1993 national championship team included just 7,186 future NBA points.
