Although Baylor men’s basketball season has come to a close, fans still have the opportunity to cheer on former Bears who play on the biggest basketball stage.

Five former Baylor players have seen playing time during the 2017-18 NBA season: Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince, Utah Jazz guard/forward Royce O’Neale, Utah Jazz center Ekpe Udoh, Brooklyn Nets forward Quincy Acy and Dallas Mavericks forward Johnathan Motley.

Prince, who played at Baylor from 2012-2016, is averaging 13.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 38 percent from three-point range in his second NBA season.
