Arizona Wildcats Picked in NBA Draft Top 10: An Elite Feat
By Brad Malone
Arizona Basketball is hoping to make a splash on the national scene at the 2015 NBA Draft in Brooklyn, New York.
Stanley Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Brandon Ashley and T.J. McConnell are all looking to find an NBA home.
Over the years a select number of Wildcats have been picked in the Top 10 of the NBA Draft. This year we could see it happen again.
Many NBA Draft “experts” have Johnson joining the Top 10 club at Arizona.
The Top 10 might be hard for fan favorite Hollis-Jefferson to crack, but according to an article on fivethirtyeight.com, his overall draft value is being severely underrated.
Hollis-Jefferson is still expected to be picked in the first round as experts now have him going between 20-25. Three months ago, he was projected to go 24-30.
Let’s take a look at what Arizona Wildcats have been picked in the NBA Draft Top 10 over the years.
