 Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 9:40 am Post subject: Which colleges have produced the best current NBA talent? |
|
|
Created this Top 10 list yesterday about big-time college basketball programs and their ability to produce NBA talent (current not past players).
Using this list as a guideline, which universities do you think are the best at producing NBA players? |

| Quote: | | Duke’s Top 5 is loaded with controversial players. Boozer duped Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, who is blind, by promising to re-sign with the Cavs in 2004 (causing Cleveland to make him an unrestricted free agent), only to sign with Utah for more money. Brand lured Baron Davis to the Clippers this offseason by promising that the two of them would play together in 2008-09, only to exercise a player option with L.A. and sign with Philadelphia; a move that set both franchises back at least a year. And Magic guard J.J. Redick is one of the most despised players in college basketball history. |
Dan Gilbert is the current owner and he isn't blind. It's the former owner, Gordon Gund, you were thinking of. |

Because he played at Duke and was an unbelievable shooter when he was there... |

Lebron
Dwight
Kwame Brown
TMac

| Anyone know which high school has produced the most NBA talent? I'm not talking about straight from high-school to the NBA. Which high-school has had the most NBA players come through it? |

Probably one of those powerhouse basketball schools, like Oak Hill Academy. |
