The University of Louisville has had 75 players taken in the NBA Draft, including eight in the last six years.

There are seven guys who are currently getting opportunities in the NBA — Deng Adel (Cleveland Cavaliers), Gorgui Dieng (Minnesota Timberwolves), Montrezl Harrell (Los Angeles Clippers), Damion Lee (Golden State Warriors), Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz), Terry Rozier (Boston Celtics) and Ray Spalding (Phoenix Suns). Of those seven, four are playing with their respective teams in the NBA playoffs and are key pieces on their rosters.
