NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
23. Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse
Anthony was an unbelievable freshman talent who helped Jim Boeheim win his first national championship at Syracuse in 2003. He was one of the most electric scorers in the country, with an uncanny ability to create his own shot. At 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds, Anthony was a matchup nightmare. His ability to handle the ball and drive to the basket, often while playing the 4 spot, was unparalleled at that time. Anthony was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. He scored 33 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in a dominant performance against Texas. In the national championship game against Kansas in New Orleans, he almost registered a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. -- Bruce Pearl
