Since the late 1990s, Gonzaga has gone from mid-major overachiever to perennial national power. However, when it comes to star players, the Bulldogs generated some even before the program gained national prominence continues to churn them out consistently. Here’s our look at 20 of the best players in Gonzaga basketball history — listed in chronological order.

Gonzaga’s prominence on the college basketball scene dates to the late 1990s. However, arguably the best player in program history starred well before that time. Burgess is the school’s all-time leader in career points (2,196), scoring average (28.1), made field goals (800), single-season scoring average (32.5 in 1960-61), and most points in a single game (52 vs. UC Davis in January 1961). He was a consensus All-American in 1961 and is one of three Gonzaga players to have had his jersey retired.

John Stockton, Guard (1981-84)
While he totaled 1,340 points for his career and averaged 20.9 as the 1984 West Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Year, Stockton is best known for distributing the basketball. He averaged a career-high 7.2 assists as a senior, and the total 554 he amassed during his collegiate career ranks fifth in school history. Defensively, Stockton remains Gonzaga’s all-time leader with 262 steals. Like Frank Burgess, Stockton’s No. 12 was retired by the program.
