Who is your #35?

[The Mook]

The single most difficult choice IMO ... in fact, Iowa State didn't even choose between these two - both of them have a retired #35 hanging in Hilton.

So you must decide, who was the best ever to wear #35 for ISU?

Barry Stevens.

not old enough to know Zaid but understand he was a heckuva ball player. Barry was obviously awesome too but I am going to go with Zaid even though never saw him play.

Nothing against Zaid Abdul-Aziz but its gotta be Barry Stevens

Bolded for emphasis.

Went with Stevens simply from the standpoint of what he did for the legacy of Iowa State BB. Smith/Abdul-Aziz was incredible, though.

I vote for Stevens. What number did Marcus Jefferson wear? I thought he wore 35 as well but I'm likely wrong.

Marcus Jefferson wore #34 as a freshman, then wore #50 the next three seasons.

Stevens. Just look in the record books. Although it's close

ahh okay, thanks for refreshing my memory!

I went with Abdul-Aziz. I remember many years ago reading a sports book from the school library that showed a list of recent college All American teams. I was amazed that it showed Don Smith from Iowa State on the first team. This was the 70s when they were terrible and, considering the times, I could not believe they had ever had a player that good.

Don Smith was a DOMINATOR.
