73. Austin Carr
One of the great shooters of all time, Austin Carr’s college run overshadows a very good pro career that was lost in the obscurity of playing in Cleveland. However, shouldn’t the all time NCAA tournament scoring average leader be considered? He scored sixty-one once in an NCAA tourney game, showcasing his legendary shooting. Considering all the nonsense the Cavs have had to deal with recently, Carr, who is Mr. Cavalier, would give the city a nice boost with an induction. Of course his induction in the College Hall of Fame in 2007 really hurts his chances of getting in the version in Springfield.
