Indiana's influence on the NBA keeps growing.

There are 17 players who went to Indiana high schools and 14 who went to state colleges (six did both) who saw court time for an NBA team in 2016-17.

That number is likely to grow next season as Indiana University's OG Anunoby is a potential first-round draft pick, Purdue's Caleb Swanigan and IU's Thomas Bryant are projected to go in the second round; and James Blackmon Jr. and Valparaiso's Alec Peters are likely to get some looks during the summer.
