Calbert Cheaney

Nobody has scored more Big Ten points — 2,613, all at Indiana, where Cheaney swept the 1993 national player of the year awards under Bob Knight and reached the 1992 Final Four. Washington drafted him sixth in 1993, and he gave the NBA thirteen seasons in five uniforms, including the Jazz in 2002–03.

He appeared in the film 'Blue Chips' and in a Crystal Waters music video with his Bullets teammates, then built a second career on the bench and in the front office — assistant coach at Golden State, director of basketball operations and later of player development back home at Indiana.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him away from Denver on a one-year minimum contract in July 2002, and let it lapse a year later.

CALBERT CHEANEY · 5 NOTES
  • Remains the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten conference history.
  • A senior-year injury knocked him off the national radar, making him the unknown in Indiana's number-one recruiting class.
  • Early in his NBA career he donated a gymnasium to his church back home in Evansville.
  • He called Indiana's January 1993 showdown with Michigan's Fab Five in Ann Arbor the game of his life.
  • A left-hander, he built his shot on the outdoor courts around Evansville and stayed famously soft-spoken about all of it.
