The 2017 NBA Draft takes place on June 22 -- just over a week from now — and the Syracuse Orange are likely to send yet another first round pick to the league. This time, it’s Tyler Lydon, who’d make it six straight years of first rounders for the Orange.
Since Carmelo Anthony went third overall to the Denver Nuggets in 2003, 10 former Syracuse players have been drafted in the first, all with varying levels of success. Because Melo would obviously top this list, we decided to rank all 10 first-rounders drafted AFTER him.
