No. 6: Dave Robisch (1968-1971)

Kansas basketball career stats: 83 games, 21.1 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 45.8% FG

One of the most underrated Jayhawks ever, Robisch accumulated an impressive career during his time in Lawrence. He averaged 26.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game as a sophomore before leading Kansas to a Final Four appearance in 1971.

A two-time Big 8 Player of the Year, his single-season point average in 1969-70 is the third-highest in Kansas basketball history. Robisch sits just outside the top 10 in all-time scoring at KU, finishing No. 11 with 1,754 points across three years.

Robisch had a silky smooth jump shot and was more of a finesse big man. He goes down as one of the greatest big men to ever touch the floors of Allen Fieldhouse.
