Jim Sutherland (1964-67): He was the key player in the '60s when the Tigers had consecutive winning seasons in ACC play, something they didn't do again until the past two seasons.
Horace Grant (1983-87): Consensus ACC player of the the year in '86-87 when he led the league in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. Grant (left) was named to the ACC's top 50 athletes of all time.
Tree Rollins (1973-77): He was one of the league's dominant big men whose mere presence on the court changed the game. Still ranks as the ACC's fifth-leading rebounder of all time.

Larry Nance was the leader of the only CU team to make the elite 8. He also was the most successful Tiger in the NBA. Sutherland was only an OK player on a better than average team.
Why no Skip Wise?
What about Butch Zetazlo?
Not sure if you are doing it by position, but I would put Greg Buckner over McIntyre if it is just the top 5 players.
Elden Campbell?
