10 of 11

No. 2: Dave Robisch (1968-1971)

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

Robisch had an incredible career with Kansas and deserves much more credit than he receives. His name should be up there with Wilt Chamberlain and Clyde Lovellette as one of the greatest of his time. Although he came up short in the Final Four to end his Jayhawk career, Robisch had one of the most incredible runs of any KU player.

His 26.5 points per game as a junior is the third-highest average in Kansas basketball history. He was awarded the Big 8 Player of the Year twice, but unfortunately, his 17 points against UCLA in the national semifinal were not enough to bring Kansas to the title game. Had he brought another championship banner to Allen Fieldhouse, there is no doubt that he would be given the respect he rightfully earned.

Robisch has been forgotten by many and is ignored on many all-time lists, but he boasts one of the most impressive resumes of any Jayhawk ever. Still, nobody is more underappreciated than the No. 1 player on this list.
