Throughout the nineties
and 2000s, Arizona under
Olson was one of the top
producers of NBA talent in
terms of number of alumni
playing in the league.
Many of these players (such
as Steve Kerr, Mike
Bibby, Jason Terry, and
Gilbert Arenas) were not
highly regarded on a
national level in high
school but flourished under
Olson's system to become
college stars and productive
NBA players.
The basketball program
at Arizona has been
dubbed "Point Guard U"
because of the numerous
players who have excelled
at that position, including
Steve Kerr, Damon
Stoudamire, Mike Bibby,
and Jason Terry (point
guards Reggie Geary and
Matt Othick played
briefly in the NBA and
Kenny Lofton became an
All-Star center fielder in
Major League Baseball).
All-American Jason
Gardner (grad. 2003) had
been the only starting
Arizona point guard to not
play any NBA minutes
since before Steve Kerr in
1984, prior to Mustafa
Shakur and Chris
Rodgers in recent years.
Arizona under Olson has
also developed many
outstanding shooting
guards and swingmen:
Sean Elliott, Gilbert
Arenas, Jud Buechler,
Khalid Reeves, Miles
Simon, Michael
Dickerson, Chris Mills,
Richard Jefferson, Luke
Walton, Andre Iguodala,
Salim Stoudamire,
Michael Wright, Ray
Owes and Hassan Adams
all excelled with the
Wildcats, and many went
on to stardom in the NBA.
Among Arizona big men
Olson coached to NBA
careers are Tom Tolbert
(forward) and centers
Brian Williams (Bison
Dele), Sean Rooks, Loren
Woods, and Channing
Frye.
