Alex Oriakhi, Stefan Jankovic, Marcus Denmon, Jakeenan Gant, Ricardo Ratlffe, Leo Lyons, etc to be NBA players? They were all either drafted or signed contracts or played in preseason with NBA teams, but never played in any NBA regular season games.
At least to me:
Jontay Porter had a 54 minute NBA career where he scored 22 points.
Michael Porter kind of played for MU but not really.
Johnathan Williams III had a 552 minute NBA career over the course of 2 seasons where he scored 202 points.
Jordan Clarkson played 1 year for us and entered the league as a second round pick in 2014. He is a legit MU NBA player.
Jabari Brown had a 568 minute NBA career over the course of a single season where he scored 227 points.
Phil Pressey had a 2,015 minute NBA career where he scored 467 points. He is a legit MU NBA role player.
Kim English had a 407 minute NBA career over the course of a single season where he scored 119 points.
That is our program's NBA footprint since Demarre Carroll entered the league back in 2009.
