I was just thinking about this while I'm sitting here losing money.  I couldn't find any good lists anywhere online.

Some guys that I thought of were:

Ed Cota
Gerry McNamara
Jaycee Carroll

Who else is there?

One of the best to not go to college or pro.....Estaban Weaver from Columbus Independence, Ohio.  He played with Kenny Gregory (Kansas).

On a serious note. I only go back so far in college hoops so wont know many of the older type players. Solid guys i remember that dont play in the league:

Jon Scheyer
Jon Leuer
Scottie Reynolds
Jarvis Varnado
Talor Battle
Malcom Delaney
Jeremy Hazell
Drew Neitzel
Jerome Dyson
David Lighty
Stanley Robinson
Wayne Chism
Antonio Pena
Trevon Hughes

Thats about as far as i go back. No GREAT guys but solid. Toughest sport to make it big in is the NBA.
