#3 Joel Embiid - Kansas [2013-14]
Now, this one's a surprise. A great player from a great program missing out on the tourney.
Joel Embiid, who played for the three-time Champions - the Kansas Jayhawks, had a spectacular one-year with the program but an unfortunate injury in March of 2014 forced him to miss the Pac-12 tournament as well as the March tourney. In the 28 games for the 2013-14 season, he played 28 games, averaging 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 blocks on 62.6% shooting in 23.1 minutes.
The Jayhawks have some illustrious history to boast off about. Their first head coach was the inventor of the game - James Naismith but their tournament record speaks volumes as well. The Jayhawks might have won if Embiid was healthy that year, but then again, the Cameroon national wouldn't be on this list then.
The injury didn't really affect Embiid's stock, as he was drafted third overall by the 76ers anyway. It took him a couple of years, to rehab from his leg injuries and play competitive basketball but from his play the last couple of seasons, clearly the wait was worth it.
