With so many more modern players who have been some of the best in the country, selecting the All-Time Iowa Hawkeyes roster was a hard decision. especially when the Hawkeye nation has been treated with plenty of special talent throughout history, from the famous Fabulous Five from the 1950s to their most recent National Player of the Year winner. Let’s take a look at the All-Time Iowa Hawkeyes roster.<\/p>\n
When you’re talking about Iowa point guards, look no further than Ronnie Lester<\/a>. Lester came to Iowa after a stellar prep career in the Chicago area. Despite that strong career, not many around the country were onto what Ronnie was worth. Luckily, Lute Olsen knew what he was getting in Lester. Once he arrived in Iowa, Lester was in his element. He quickly showcased his speed and court vision. He quickly became the court general for the Hawkeyes. During his standout Iowa hoops career, Lester earned All-American honors twice, along with All-Big Ten honors. He also helped Iowa reach the Final Four during his senior season. He left Iowa with a career scoring average of 16.9 points and 4.8 assists. His No. 12 jersey hangs in Carver-Hawkeye, which further cements his rightful place on this Iowa Hawkeyes Roster.<\/p>\n The next player at the point guard spot is BJ Armstrong<\/a>, who not only proved to be a great college player but was also a pro. Sure, he never quite stood out outside the Big Ten. Armstrong was a fan favorite during his tenure from 1985-1989. After only being a scarce contributor as a freshman, Armstrong took it to the next level during his final three seasons. He finished as one of the best point guards in Iowa basketball history, as he finished as the all-time leader in assists with 518. He still sits sixth on the Iowa all-time list. Besides being a strong passer, BJ was a great scorer as well, as he finished with a career average of 13.1 points per game. He went on to have a successful NBA career, where he won three NBA titles.<\/p>\n The late 1950s Fabulous Five had plenty of great stars and were led by guards like Sharm Scheuerman<\/a> and Bill Seaberg<\/a>, but the final point guard for this All-Time Iowa roster goes to Jordan Bohannon<\/a>. You’re talking about arguably the best shooter to ever step foot on the Iowa campus. Bohannon spent six seasons in the Yellow and Black. He made quite a splash as a freshman during the 2016-17 season as he was an All-Big Ten Freshman. He started 28 of the 34 games he played. From there, he continued to the starting guard for the Hawkeyes through a great period for the program.<\/p>\n Bohannon not only could score the deep ball, but he was a great passer as well. Jordan left Iowa as a very successful player. He holds the NCAA record for the most games played with 179 games. He also left Iowa as the all-time assist leader with 710. Not to mention, he made the most three-pointers in Big Ten history with 455 made threes.<\/p>\n
