Fan voting for the greatest five Wichita State basketball players went somewhat as predicted: Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker go immediately to the list.
The Shockers’ All-American duo, who will finish their collegiate careers in this month’s postseason, were ranked fourth (VanVleet) and fifth (Baker) in voting by readers at Kansas.com. They join three Wichita State legends on the starting five.
Xavier McDaniel was the leading vote-getter. He received 35 percent of the first-place votes and was named on 78 percent of all ballots.
Dave Stallworth, an All-American from the 1960s, was a distant second. They trade top spots in Bob Lutz’s list.
