Which Indiana Basketball players have dominated most in the NBA?

Indiana University basketball has long been one of the most distinguished college basketball programs in the country.  IU has made a name for itself over the course of generations, starting in the 1940’s under the legendary Branch McCracken and continuing with the current Archie Miller era. Over time, Indiana became synonymous with winning and for good reason. Indiana was known for more than just winning, however, as they became famous for producing elite and supremely talented players. Indiana has produced some legendary basketball talent who have tantalized the NBA and even the ABA back in the day.

We are going to attempt to rank the top 10 Indiana Hoosiers in NBA history. The rankings were made with several considerations. The two most important factors when considering NBA greatness are championships and individual accolades. Other components that were considered when analyzing a player were career statistical numbers, longevity and reputation. Players who are still active are only judged on their career achievements to date. While it is quite the task to rank all the talented Hoosiers players who have made it to the big leagues, I’ll give it my best shot.
