Brunson is slicing up Lebron and the Lakers right now on ESPN. Mavs have got to be ecstatic with that pick.

Captain Obvious: we were so fortunate to have him. What a great player he was.

So there are 7 Nova players from the 16-18 teams on NBA rosters currently. Ochefu, not in the league, did have a cup of coffee in the NBA and perhaps Booth could get called up at some point. Could be 9 eventually. Heck if someone like Samuels could figure out a way to get a look after graduating, it could be as many as 10.

Would love to know if any BE team since original inception ever put 8 players into the NBA from a 2 year program span. Maybe that 80’s G’town team? Maybe one of those stacked UConn teams? Might have to do some research...

From the 81-82 and 82-83 rosters They Hoyas put 10 people in the NBA: Patrick Ewing, Sleepy Floyd, Eric Smith, Ed Spriggs, Gene Smith, Fred Brown, Bill Martin, David Wingate, Michael Jackson, and Ralph Dalton

We had 6 players drafted between 1983-1984. Of course there were more rounds back then. I wouldn't be surprised at all if those 80's Georgetown teams sent more for that reason alone

Edit - And hoyahooligan confirms my hunch

Nice work by you. Those 80’s G’town teams were absolutely stacked. Ewing was the crown jewel but man those teams had a LOT of talent up and down.

Kemba everything for Boston that Kyrie never was.

Drummond already with 4 20-20 games. The rest of the NBA has one total, and the last player to match Andre was Abdul-Jabbar in the mid-70s.

Edmond had been playing pretty well for the pacers, but hurt his hand and will be out a couple weeks. unfortunately, this is a trend for Ed that will probably plague him. dude is extremely injury prone. shame because the pacers don't have oladipo and edmond had been starting, huge missed opportunity

Gtmo’s favorite BE alum, Eric Paschall put up 34 and 13 in a win for the Warriors last night. All those Main Line doughnuts clearly paid off. :D

Donte had 17 pts, 7 reb last night for the Bucks while shooting 3/4 from 3, looks like he's finding his role for them.
