Avery Bradley: TexasThe Celtics' best defender spent just one season with the Texas Longhorns in 2009-10, a season that ended with a first-round loss to Wake Forest in the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 11.6 points and 2.1 assists per game, but Danny Ainge saw enough in the guard to spend the 19th overall pick on him. He's proven to be well worth it.

Tyler Zeller: North CarolinaZeller played four seasons for Roy Williams, earning ACC Player of the Year honors in his senior season in 2011-12. That year, he averaged 16.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. He was on the roster as a freshman when UNC won the national championship in 2009, though he didn't play much. (Photo by Kevin C.

Isaiah Thomas: WashingtonI.T. followed in the footsteps of fellow undersized scorer Nate Robinson by donning No. 2 at Washington. Thomas filled the scoresheet with 16.4 points and 4 assists per game in his three years, but his final season's tournament dreams were dashed by Tyler Zeller and the UNC Tar Heels in 2011.

Marcus Smart: Oklahoma StateIn his first year on campus, Smart earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors. He followed it up with another solid season, averaging 16.6 points 4.5 assists and 2.9 steals per game in his career. Unfortunately for Smart, the Cowboys lost their only two tournament games during his time at Oklahoma State. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
Terry Rozier: LouisvilleStill a curious pick by the Celtics, Terry Rozier played two seasons for Rick Pitino at Louisville. Rozier averaged 19.5 points per game in his second season, though the Cardinals lost in the East regional final to Michigan State. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Kelly Olynyk: GonzagaKelly Olynyk played two unremarkable seasons before breaking out as a junior, when he averaged 17.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. He earned WCC player of the year honors and was a first-team All-American, though his top-seeded Bulldogs won just one tournament game before being upset by Wichita State.

R.J. Hunter: Georgia StateStars are made during the NCAA Tournament, and R.J. Hunter is a testament to that. Partly for his sharp-shooting, and partly due to his head coach (and father) getting injured while celebrating a Hunter 3-pointer. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
Al Horford: FloridaBefore becoming the No. 3 overall pick, Al Horford built an extensive college resume in his three years with Florida. He was the SEC Tournament MVP in 2007, and along with his fellow Gators was a back-to-back national champion in 2006 and 2007. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Jae Crowder: MarquetteJae Crowder played two seasons for the Golden Eagles, averaging 17.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in 2011-12. In both of Crowder's seasons, Marquette won a pair of tournament games before bowing out in the regional semifinals. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Jaylen Brown: CalIt'll be interesting to see how Jaylen Brown pans out as a professional, as his selection at No. 3 overall generated quite a bit of debate in Boston. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
