16 of the most hated college basketball players

Devo was #9.

Not that I can't see why he was hated -- I was just surprised to see him on this list because Syracuse was not really a power at anytime during his time here.
 
Hook us up and list them here

Hate the layout of these sites

:)
In the slide show I see 18 players so I don't know what they're talking about. There's also no labels or description, just a photo. So...

1. Christian Laettner, Duke
2. Jalen Rose, Michigan
3. Joakim Noah, Florida
4. JJ Reddick, Duke
5. Marshall Henderson, Mississippi
6. Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina
7. Derrick Coleman, Syracuse
8. Adam Morrison, Gonzaga
9. Eric Devendorf, Syracuse
10. Steve Wojciechowski, Duke
11. Bobby Hurley, Duke
12. Patrick Ewing, Georgetown
13. Allen Iverson, Georgetown
14. Eric Montross, North Carolina
15. Grayson Allen, Duke
16. Larry Johnson, UNLV
17. Chris Webber, Michigan
18. Greivis Vasquez, Maryland
 
Grantland did a bracket for the most hated CBB of alltime and obviously Laetnner won.

Patrick Ewing should have been #1. Ok, I'd be ok if he slid to #2 because I realize people love to hate Laetner, but Ewing was really hated when he was in college.

Coleman was the seventh most hated player? Really? Who hated him, the other players he punked? The frat brothers he beat up at Chucks or Sutters?

Ewing cleaned up a bit once he got to the NBA as he knew that wasn't going to fly.
 
Sherm?

Sherm seems odd.

Rick Fox too. Did people hate Rick Fox that much - I think after he was in the NBA and started acting, and doing interviews and crap...but while he was in college? Never noticed.
 
Who devised this list? A Hoya? Sherm is a total head shaker on the list. Coleman wasn't "hated" in college, it was in the NBA where he got a rep.

No offense to him but no Paulus on the list? No Kentucky, UCLA players? Walton was a lightening rod for criticism despite his obvious talent during his playing days. No Mourning? Only in his latter days in the NBA and beset with health issues did opinions seem to radically change. Danny Ferry, Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Shane Battier etc missing?

My list would mainly be from the 80s because I was a kid then. Since I've grown up, I don't hate players. These guys would have been at the top of my list though:

Danny Ferry
J.R. Reid

All the creator of that article did was look at the Grantland tournament bracket from 2 years ago and repacked it into a slideshow to get clickbait.

I didn't think Sherm was hated either but he was in the Grantland bracket. So this author just copied him over.

Grayson Allen is shooting up to #3 in the Duke bracket. Unless he writes some horrible poetry, Reddick is safe at #2.
 
Yeah the Sherm thing is strange. Who was our starting caliber player most liked by the world at large? Probably Carmelo but Jonny Flynn would be high on the list too, although in actuality he was every bit as "punkish" as Devo.
 
It's missing Trevor Cooney. Hated nearly universally by Syracuse fans.
