NBA players OU has faced

[thebigabd]

When I saw the DeRozan news this morning, I thought, "hey, didn't OU play against him when he was at USC?"... Then I started thinking of all the NBA players OU has played against.

Kevin Durant
DeMar Derozan
Lamarcus Aldridge
Marcus Smart
Alec Burks
Mario Chalmers
Darrell Arthur (who just got moved by the Nuggets)
Andrew Bogut (is he still in the league?)
Khris Middleton
Joe Johnson
Demarre Carroll
Etc

Probably a bunch I am not thinking of... Pretty impressive list.

i thought it was OJ mayo that OU played. were he and derozan on the same team?
Edit: it looks like the first year we played them 2007 they had Mayo and Gibson. The next year, they had gibson and derozan

 

[SoonerBounce13]

taj gibson was on that team with mayo

There's a bunch more. Steph Curry in Norman.

 

[BCSooners]

There's a bunch more. Steph Curry in Norman.

Was at that game, really good game. Pretty sure OU played Klay Thompson as well. Not to mention all the players during the Final 4 run.

There's a bunch more. Steph Curry in Norman.

Not to mention a bunch of KU players, and several Texas guys, not on this list. Plus Melo. Of course, just about any Power 5 team can say the same, but it definitely is fun to think about.

Paul Pierce (retired now)

Paul Pierce (retired now)

on a team with raef lafrenze (sp) scott pollard and jaque vaughn


they should have won it all very few teams in the 90's had 4 first round picks

but they also had the weeper .. so those guys played less than 30 mpg

I remember the Steph Curry game well, I believe he had 40 something and was incredible. He was also incredibly accommodating to my son who was a ball boy at the time, coming out of the locker room afterwards to sign sneakers for him and chat with him. Needless to say, my son was a Steph Curry fan before it became popular to be one!

I also remember the shootout between Michael Beasley and Blake Griffin when I think Beasley had 29 and Blake had 28 or something like that and I think KSU may have won but it was quite the matchup between those two.

You could also go back to Andrew Bogut with Utah and waaayy back to Larry Johnson with UNLV. Talk about shootouts with those guys!!

 

[Eielson]

Embiid
Wiggins
Simmons
Kyle Lowry (I believe)
Josh Hart (Summer League MVP!)
Danny Green
Avery Bradley

Just a few more off the top of my head.

Beasley

 

[Abe]

Lon Kruger, Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning

 

[sperry]

We've played against several number 1 picks.

Kenyon Martin, Andrew Bogut, Andrew Wiggins. Durant, Lamarcus Aldridge, Michael Beasley and Melo were number 2 overall picks.

 

[NickZepp]

Lon Kruger, Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning

If you go old school. Larry Bird, Michael Jordan(along with Sam Perkins and Brad Daugherty) Big 8 was loaded in the 80s so it's a pretty long list of most every team there.

 

[NickZepp]

1980s
ISU Jeff Hornacek
OSU John Starks, Richard Dumas
KSU Mitch Richmond, Ranaldo Blackmon
Kansas Danny Manning and Darnell Valentine
Missouri Steve Stipanovich, Larry Drew, Doug Smith, Derrick Chievous
Colorado Jay Humphries

 

[NickZepp]

Only one current Thunder player played against OU. Andre Roberson as a freshman.

 

[WaymanFan]

Lon Kruger, Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning

Well, if we're going to mention Wilt, may as well go back a few more years to the primary reason we weren't National Champions in 1947 - Bob Cousy.

 

[AdaSooner]

Is Karl Malone on a list somewhere or did I miss it? Classic matchup with WT in in the All College Tourney. I was at the game.

 

[thebigabd]

Pretty incredible how often OU runs into great players.

Keith Lee of Memphis State I believe knocked Wayman and OU out of tourney one year.
Sure OU played NC in the NCAAs, had to have some future pros.
On the woman's side so many players from UCONN.
