2022 NBA Draft: Better N.O. a Prospect - Ochai Agbaji Pelicans Prospect Preview

College players with three or more seasons in college. Rarities to land in the NBA, unless you look at the New Orleans Pelicans roster. Naji Marshall, 3 years at Xavier. Trey Murphy III, 2 years at Rice then 1 year at Virginia. Herb Jones, 4 years at Alabama. Jose Alvarado, 4 years at Georgia Tech. Every single one of them logging vital minutes in their first or second season with the Pelicans down the stretch run and in the first round of the playoffs.

Ochai Agbaji, 4 years at Kansas. Kansas withdrew from the 2021 Big 12 Tournament due to a positive COVID-19 test, then the Jayhawks were embarrassed by USC in the 2021 NCAA Tournament and failed to make the Sweet 16.
