It’s not much of a stretch to say that Northwestern has struggled to produce NBA talent. The last Wildcat drafted (and the last to play in the NBA) was Evan Eschmeyer, a second round pick in 1999.

With a recruiting surge led by Chris Collins, the program is full of talent and athleticism, meaning it might not be too long before we see another Wildcat selected by an NBA franchise.
