Since the inception of the NBA Draft in 1947, the Arizona Basketball program has had more players drafted then most schools including the rivals up north, the Arizona State Sun Devils. They claim to be a basketball school, yet they really don’t have much to show for yet. Numbers don’t lie.
The Wildcats have had 72 players drafted in the NBA, where as the Sun Devils have only had 36. Now there have been players who weren’t drafted into the NBA, but still signed to a team, either through a two-way contract or as an unrestricted free agent.
