Double T was just a bit before my time as an engaged fan. I certainly remember him and seeing him occasionally while he was with the Gophers, but almost exclusively on TV and not frequently. Limiting my vote to players who I saw play the majority of their games, I'd go with Vo Lenard.
Lenard is number two on my list.
 

Not if one of the choices listed by the OP is missing a data point because it didn’t exist when he played.

Flag on your post/supposition🏁

I went with the numbers available and I don't care about Gopher Holers' sentimentality over their past heroes. I'm not a sentimental sort of guy if that wasn't already obvious.
 

But he helped us beat Wisconsin at the Kohl Center so he gets a pass.
Are you thinking of Brock Stull? He hit two huge threes back to back in the 2nd half to beat the badgers at the Kohl Center in the 2018-2019 season

Alihan played on the 2019-2020 team. The Gophers didn’t beat the badgers on the road but we did beat them at home. In fact that home win is our last win against wisconsin which is both embarassing and depressing.

Both Mark Hall and Ray Williams were scorers - always found a way to get a bucket. Great players. But neither is what I would call an excellent shooter.
Mark Hall was superb with the ball but Ray Williams was sooo skilled at a much faster speed.
Both those guys were outstanding! Ray Williams on the break was worth any price of admission...something lightnin' quick and I don't believe what I just saw would happen every time on the break. Some guys are quick but not that many guys are fast and quick....Ray was and both were strong with the ball. Sooo dang fun!!!
 

The old school Gophers were so much better than guys from the last 10 to 15 years. Not even close. Jimmy Williams got us so many Top 10 in the (Jimmy Story) country players and so many over achievers. All the Musselman and Dutcher guys were recruited by Jimmy. His eye for talent was #1. Big guys: Olberding, Landsberger, McHale, Breuer, Jim Brewer, Mychal Thompson...the list goes on.
Guards all the guys in this thread (Tucker, Burton, Hall, Ray Williams, Flip etc) plus Leo Rautins was highly regarded....Osborne Lockhart, Daryl Mitchell ....so many guys!! DANG!!! Very fun times!
