Delaware

Walt Hazzard, A.J. English, Terence Stansbury, Stephen Graham, Joey Graham

Total of 1 All-Star appearances, 0 NBA/ABA championships

Walt Hazzard, later Mahdi Abdul-Rahman, averaged 12.6 points, 4.9 assists, and 3 rebounds a game in his career while being in the league’s top 10 in assists five times in his career.

Unfortunately, for the lovely state of Delaware, their squad goes down quickly after that as no one else even came close to making an All-Star Game. English averaged 9.9 points over two seasons, Terence Stansbury played three seasons (6.3 PPG), Joey Graham played six seasons (5.9 PPG), and Stephen Graham played six seasons (4.0 PPG). And yes, the two Grahams are brothers.

Grade: D
