134. Caron Butler
A two-time NBA All-Star, Caron Butler garnered significant attention when in 2002 he led UConn to an Elite 8 appearance and was named the co-Big East Player of the Year.  He would be selected by the Miami Heat as a lottery pick but it was when he moved to the Washington Wizards where he would have his greatest individual success.  The Small Forward would have a pair of 20 Points per Game seasons (2006-07 & 2007-08) and in both of those campaigns he would be named an All Star and was a top five finisher in Steals per Game.  He would later help the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 NBA Championship.
