48. Phil Wheeler, 1953-56 (3/3)

Typical for his era, 6’4” Phil Wheeler was an outstanding post player who averaged 10.4 rebounds a game for his Bearcats career. His bigger legacy, though, was his scoring, as he became the first Cincinnati player to average 20 points a game for a season. Although Wheeler was drafted by the Warriors in the fourth round, he never made an NBA roster. Image from gobearcats.com
