Since Brian Grawer graduated in 2001 and did not go into professional basketball, I think the complete list of scholarship players from MU who never suited up professionally is:
Josh Kroenke
Spencer Laurie
James Douglas
Dominique Bull
John Underwood
Steve Moore
Ryan Rosburg
Keith Shamburger
Martavian Payne
Cameron Beidschied
Terrence Phillips
Cullen Vanleer
Kevin Puryear
Jontay Porter (injured currently)
Pretty much anyone at a major conference can 'go pro'. They are just signing up for a vagabond lifestyle and inconsistent salary. He could definitely leave MU to play professionally after this season, but he definitely could not make the NBA.
