Notable UAB Men’s Basketball Players

You never know when seeing an NCAA Division I game will give you a glimpse at a future legend! The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s athletic program has certainly done its share in preparing students for careers in professional sports. These are some of the Blazers basketball who went on to make their mark in the NBA and beyond: 

• Alan Ogg (1986–1990): A towering presence at 7’2” and 240 pounds, Ogg set the standard for defensive dominance at UAB with a total of 266 career blocks. He signed with the Miami Heat as a free agent and became a crowd favorite during his two seasons with the franchise before setting his sights on the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). By the time he retired in 2001, he had recorded appearances with clubs in Minnesota, Connecticut, Ohio, Mexico, and China.

• Predrag Savovic (1997–1998): Savovic played professionally in Serbia before arriving in America to attend college in his twenties. At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, he was a two-time First-Team All-WAC honoree (2001, 2002) and the 2002 WAC tournament MVP.  He signed with the Denver Nuggets in 2002 and appeared in 27 games before heading back across the Atlantic to spend the final years of his career with Spirou Charleroi and Bilbao Basket.

• Donnell Taylor (2003–2005): An agile shooting guard at UAB, Taylor found his way into the NBA as a free agent. Following a short stint with the Washington Wizards, he spent nearly a decade in the international leagues, playing for teams in Greece, Belgium, Israel, Bulgaria, and Italy. In 2012, his stellar performance with Pallacanestro Reggiana, averaging 18.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, helped lead the club to an Italian league championship.

• Carldell "Squeaky" Johnson (2003–2006): Johnson made a quick impact at UAB, starting 22 of 32 games in his first year and managing 3.83 assists for every turnover, the nation’s highest ratio. The Vancouver Dragons selected him in the 2006 CBA draft, but he opted to begin his career in Belgium. Aside from a few detours to represent San Antonio in the NBA G League and New Orleans during the 2011–2012 NBA season, he remained in the international leagues.

• Elijah Millsap (2009–2010): After transferring to UAB from  Louisiana–Lafayette, Millsap averaged 16.1 points per game as a senior. He played for the Detroit Pistons during the 2010 NBA Summer League, which led to a signing with the OKC Thunder and time in Tulsa as part of the NBA Development League. He made his NBA regular-season debut with the Utah Jazz in 2015 and, in subsequent years, split time between the U.S. and international leagues.
