Related Topics: Paul Pierce

One of the best Jayhawks in NBA history, Paul Pierce was also an incredible college player, whose 1,768 points rank 10th all time in Kansas history. A 6-6 forward who started all but 5 games in his college career, Pierce was an All-American as a junior. He also averaged 6.3 rebounds per game for his career.

Pierce led the Big 12 in win shares in 1998 and his career mark ranks 11th all time in Big 12 history.

Pierce was a good, though not great, 3-point shooter who shot 35 percent for his career, but he was efficient inside, making over half his twos.
