Which NCAA school has the most player in the NBA right now? and ever?

Question

also can you show where you found this info

The best info I have been able to find is 66 for Kentucky and 65 for North Carolina, with Duke and UCON also in the 60s but have now idea if how current that is. I would like to know who has the most ever as well as now

Answer 1

As of the most recent NBA player survey (2006-2007), Connecticut has the most players currently playing in the NBA at 14.

Kentucky has had 100 players drafted to the NBA/ABA (considering the ABA in it's hayday was bigger then the NBA) and 70 actually played. To my knowledge that's the most for a Division I school. The list I found has everyone down to Rajon Rondo and you can add Randolph Morris to that as of yesterday. Here's the list along with the teams and years they played: http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/careernba.html

I think the overrall totals give Kentucky the edge because of their long standing success dating back to the 40's and they've been prominent in every decade since. I think the consistency Kentucky has had even with probation and "down years", gives them the edge of North Carolina and Duke. I know it's pretty close between the three schools though. Arizona is also up there.

Answer 2

Right now UConn has the most players in the NBA, 14 followed by Duke (13) and North Carolina (12). I read this recently, but I can't remember where I read it. It may have been one of the USA Today facts but I'm not sure.

Answer 3

The most ever, would probably be North Carolina. The most now would probably be Duke, as they almost automatically get the cream of the crop from high school and have been moving players out quickly, not by choice have you, but players have been leaving early the last few years.

Answer 4

North Carolina or Duke...They both produce skilled and smart players.

Answer 5

duke and nc tar hels because they have the good players
