I was watching a 1990 SU-Gtown game the other day and I realized something interesting.
Between DC, Mourning, Owens and Mutombo there were players who were drafted #1, #2, #3 and #4 in the NBA draft (albeit in different years). That SU team also had two reserves who were drafted in the first round (Dave Johnson and Leron Ellis). There may have been additional GT players who were first round draft choices but I didn’t make the effort to check since I hate GTown.
I wonder (and realize it would be extremely difficult to check) if there was ever that many highly drafted players in an SU game?
