Ranking NBA draft prospects by their performance against WSU

Pop quiz: Who was the last WSU player to be drafted by an NBA team?

If you said Klay Thompson at 11th overall in 2011, you’re right. (Although, if you said Xavier Thames at 59th overall in the second round back in 2014, you get some very depressing bonus points.)

It’s been seven years since a Coug has taken part in the spectacle known as NBA Draft Thursday. This year, Robert Franks was hoping to change that. But after failing to receive an NBA Draft Combine invite, Franks decided to return to WSU for his senior season.
