Hey everyone, hope you're having a good day. Just a quick question out of curiosity. Do any of you know which college has the most students drafted into the NBA? Not that I'm applying to play basketball, but it's fun trivia to know haha. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! You've got an interesting question on your hands, and one that's sports-related! If we're looking strictly at the number of players who went to college and then got drafted into the NBA, the University of Kentucky leads by a substantial number. They've had well over 100 players drafted into the league.
University of North Carolina and UCLA also have high numbers of players who were drafted into the NBA. Duke University isn't too far behind. These four schools have had really successful basketball programs for a number of years which lead to a higher number of athletes getting drafted into the NBA.
However, it's important to remember that success in college sports doesn't guarantee professional success. There are many factors that come into play once athletes reach the professional level such as skill set, work ethic, and even the team that drafts them. But it's always fun to know where the players got their start!
