A native of Iowa Falls, Iowa, Collison was chosen as 12th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft to the Seattle Supersonics. Last season he was named the NABC National Player of the Year, the Big 12 Male Athlete of the Year, a consensus first-team All-American and the Big 12 Player of the Year by the league's coaches. The concept of retiring the jerseys of outstanding Jayhawk men's basketball players was initiated prior to the 1992-93 season when banners honoring Clyde Lovellete, Danny Manning, B.H. Born, Charlie Black, Paul Endacott, Wilt Chamberlain and Charlie Black were unveiled in the south end of Allen Fieldhouse. The original criteria for a retired jersey included KU players named college basketball player of the year, most valuable player of the NCAA Tournament or being named a four-time All-American.</div> Nice to see a highlight for him in an otherwise disappointing season, some nice names to have his jersey next to as well. Ranks 2nd all time in scoring and blocked shots, and 3rd alltime in rebounding.
