Canes Hoops: Can this school produce NBA-level talent?

Miami football has been known for decades as a top producer of pro-level talent. Even in the down years in the 2000s and 2010s, the Canes still produced just as many NFL players as the highly successful programs such as Alabama, Clemson, etc. The basketball team historically has not had the same success with players moving on and succeeding at the next level. Yes, there are fewer roster spots in the NBA, but the lack of Miami players in the league for extended periods of time has still been alarming (The basketball program has created just as many NFL players as NBA players recently, see Jimmy Graham and Erik Swoope).
