Tony Guy – shooting guard – Kansas
A former team captain with the Jayhawks, Guy was told explicitly by team president Red Auerbach he would not make the final roster, but should instead work on his game in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), the equivalent of the G League in that era.
The Maryland native did exactly that, playing for the Wyoming Wildcatters and the Maine Lumberjacks as he made several unsuccessful attempts to make the league. He would eventually pursue a career in business instead.
