Because he is one of the top 100 College Guards of ALL TIME
Of ALL TIME I tell you!!
How would UT’s Daniel Gibson match-up with B.J. Armstrong? Or, for that matter, B.J. Tyler? Is Derek Raivio another Matt Santangelo or Blake Stepp or Dan Dickau? Ohio’s Jeremy Fears is a small school guy with some big school pub. Does that mean he’ll be the next Speedy Claxton? With these questions in mind, Adam Stanco ranks the Top 100 Point Guards of the Modern Era.
95. Adonis Jordan (Kansas, 1993) 12.1 ppg, 4.5 apg (1.7 tpg), 2.3 rpg, 1.9 spg, 46% FG, 65 3-FG
Solid playmaker and strong leader. Led Jayhawks to two Final Four appearances and one National Championship finals appearance. One-time First-Team All-Big Eight selection and one Honorable Mention All-American selection. Two-time NCAA Regional All-Tournament team member.
Anyone care to guess who Number 1 was?

Maravich....
And Adonis might have been a good college player but was a disgrace as a person. They actually had to modify the doors at Rod Laver to acomodate his head to fit thru LOL
He was an absolute pain in the ass and not a real popular teamate.
He was quick but not the player that he should have been given all the dues given to him before he came over.
My only memories of him.

Fair call Chad
I guess you would have had some fairly close dealings with him
He certainly did come over here with a huge rep after coming out of a big College like Kansas
And sorry, my bad, it was Top 100 College Point Guards of the modern era, so Pistol Pete wasn't eligible

man this is hilarious. Atleast 10 years ago I headed out to the local shopping centre cause one Adonis Jordan, and the great Bruce Bolden were gonna be there. Lined up and got some stuff signed. The Adonis auto was useless then, and who would have thought over 10 years later someone would actually be chasing him. Not trying to insult u refractor.....I just find it really amusing. I never got to excited over any college "superstar" who ended up playing NBL. Nothing against the NBL, cause I actually thought it was one of the stronger leagues in the world........but its generally not a great sign.
I dont know which is worse........Adonis Jordan....or the fact I still have this after all this time!!! lol

reason for these four players is that a dealer friend of mine from the US is after these guys as there NBL cards sell well.
