Earnest Killum (June 11, 1948 – June 11, 2020) was an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After starring for Stetson from 1968 to 1970, averaging a school-record 24.9 points over two seasons and earning All-America honors,[1] he was selected by the Lakers with the thirteenth pick (30th overall) in the second round of the 1970 NBA draft. An ankle injury limited him to only four games,[2] in which he averaged 0.3 points and 0.5 rebounds.[3]
Killum departed the league after the 1970–71 season, and played the next year in Europe before retiring. He is one of only two Stetson alumni to play in the NBA, along with Lorenzo Williams, and was elected into the school's athletic Hall of Fame in 1983.[1]
He became a vice principal at Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia in the early 2000s.[citation needed]
