NBA’s All-March Madness Team: Which Active Players Had The Best Collegiate Careers?

Small Forwards

Kyle Singler (Duke) – Third Team 

Kyle Singler barely edged out C.J. McCollum for this third team all-March Madness team. One thing stood out between the two of them: Team success.

Singler won a National Championship at Duke and was the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament in 2009. He was a Wooden Award finalist in both 2009 and 2010. His senior year he averaged 17 ppg, 7 rpg, and 1.6 assists.

Kevin Durant (Texas) – Second Team 

Kevin Durant is a rare one-and-done player that cracks this list but for good reason. He was an absolute force. He took the Big 12 by storm, averaging 25.8, 11.1, 1.3 to go along with his defensive stats of two blocks and two steals per game.

He took control of every game he played in while being the best player on the floor regardless of who they were playing.

In his only year at Texas he won AP POY while leading the Big 12 in points, rebounds, and blocks. They were a 4 seed going into the tournament, however, and were expected to make a bigger splash than they did. They lost in the second round to Swaggy P, Taj Gibson and the rest of the USC Trojans.

Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse) – First Team 

Melo is our last one-and-done but definitely not least. How much better can your college basketball career get? In his one season at Syracuse, Melo averaged 22.2 ppg and 10 rpg on his way to a National Championship win over Kansas (still stings).

He led his team in rebounds and points while also leading the conference in games played and field goals made.
