Message: [QUOTE="orange2win, post: 1729416, member: 849"] Yes you are correct. I had that 1996 Kentucky team with 7. Double checked and it should be 8. Those were 8 solid NBA pros - Nazr Mohammed is still playing I think - up against John Wallace, the only SU pro. If SU had managed to win that game, it would have been a massive upset. Somebody noted the number should be 9. Could be right, if another player was drafted and did not play. Don't agree with your comment "no way to have 4+ pro's on a team anymore" Here are the numbers for the last decade. 2006 - Florida 5 2007 - Florida 6 2008 - Kansas 6 2009 - North Carolina 5 2010 - Duke 6 2011 - Connecticut 3 2012 - Kentucky 6 2013 - Louisville 4 2014 - Connecticut 1 2015 - Duke 3 That is an average of 5.0/yr. Not going down. As for 2016, UNC had 6 McDAAs and probably a similar number will turn out to be NBA Pros. Nova - we have to wait and see. [/QUOTE]
