There are 16 teams in the 2016 NBA Playoffs, and the Big Ten has 19 players on those teams. That’s not bad for a single conference.
But while Michigan State and Ohio State are represented with three players each, and Indiana has two players out there, the Michigan basketball program is represented by four players, more than any other in the conference.
Here’s how the Wolverines are being represented in this NBA postseason:
- Glenn Robinson III, Indiana Pacers
- Mitch McGary, Oklahoma City Thunder
- Tim Hardaway Jr., Atlanta Hawks
- Jamal Crawford, Los Angeles Clippers
First of all, I’m not a big NBA guy.
