Hey! I'm a high school senior who is really into basketball and I'm trying to figure out my chances of getting into the NBA. So, I was wondering, which college has had the most students picked in an NBA draft within a single year?
The University of Kentucky holds the record for having the most players selected in a single NBA draft. In 2012, the university had a total of six players drafted. Notably, Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were the first two picks in the draft that year. While it's important to choose a school with a strong basketball program if you aim to go professional, remember to also consider factors like regular playing time, coaching style, academic offerings, and overall college fit. Infusing your passion for basketball into your college experience can be tremendously rewarding, but it's crucial to maintain a balanced perspective and make the most of all aspects of your college experience.
