Notable San Diego State University Basketball Players

When you see the Aztecs on the court, you never know when you could be witnessing the next basketball legend! The San Diego State athletic program has been a launchpad for outstanding talent. This list spotlights former players who have transitioned from SDSU to the professional leagues: 

• Tony Gwynn (1979–1981): Although Tony Gwynn is best known for his Hall of Fame baseball career with the San Diego Padres, he was also a talented basketball player at SDSU. Drafted by the San Diego Clippers in 1981, Gwynn chose to pursue baseball instead, leaving a huge "what if" in SDSU and NBA history.

• Michael Cage (1980–1984): Drafted 14th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in 1984, Cage became known for his rebounding prowess, leading the NBA in rebounds during the 1987-1988 season. His tenacity and work ethic at SDSU translated into a long and productive NBA career, marked by his contributions to several teams over 15 seasons.

• Kawhi Leonard (2009–2011): Selected 15th overall by the Indiana Pacers in 2011 and traded to the San Antonio Spurs, Leonard has become one of the NBA's elite players. A two-time NBA champion and Finals MVP with both the Spurs and Toronto Raptors, Leonard's defensive skills and all-around game were honed at SDSU, making him the program's most decorated NBA alumnus.

• Malcolm Thomas (2009–2011): After playing at SDSU, Thomas went undrafted but carved out a role in the NBA with several teams including the Golden State Warriors. Known for his defensive skills and rebounding, Thomas's journey from college to professional basketball underscores the Aztecs' ability to develop NBA-caliber talent.

• Xavier Thames (2011–2014): Thames went undrafted in the 2014 NBA Draft but has found success overseas. At SDSU, he was celebrated for his scoring ability and leadership, playing a key role in the Aztecs' NCAA tournament runs.
