Last Thursday, Brandon miller and Noah Clowney became the first duo of Alabama basketball players to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft since 1995 when Jason Caffey and Antonio McDyess did it. The Charlotte Hornets selected Miller and the Brooklyn Nets chose Clowney.
However, the similarities don’t stop there as Miller and McDyess were both the No. 2 overall picks, the highest in program history. Caffey was then selected 20th overall in 1995 while Clowney went 21st overall this year, resulting in nearly identical drafts 28 years apart.
