No. 6: Vincent Ernst – guard – Providence College
One of the first players out of PC to be drafted into the NBA, Ernst and the Friars won two NIT titles during his time with Providence, and Ernst even won NIT Most Valuable Player in 1961.
He didn’t make Boston’s final roster the summer after being drafted, though he did represent the U.S. in the 1963 Pan-American Games, and a few seasons in the Eastern Professional Basketball League before hanging it up for good in 1969.
