20. Tracy Murray, F (1989-92)

Why Murray is on this list:

It is one thing to be a scoring machine, it is another to be a scoring machine at UCLA. With the plethora of legendary basketball players that have roamed the halls of Pauley Pavilion, it takes a lot to stand out and that is exactly what Murray did in his time in Westwood.

Murray came from Glendora High School where he averaged 44.3 points in his senior season. That effort translated to UCLA where he is among the Top 10 scorers in Bruin basketball history. Murray helped lead the Bruins to a Pac-10 Championship and was named to the All-Pac-10 team in 1991 and 1992.
