The 2024-25 NBA Season starts tonight, and currently there are 2 former NC State players on NBA rosters. Caleb and Cody Martin both played two years with the Wolfpack before transferring to Nevada. Caleb plays for the Sixers, and Cody plays for the Hornets.
According to my calculations, 51 former NC State Men’s Basketball players have gone on to play in the NBA.
Here’s a look at the Wolfpack’s career NBA statistical leaders:
