It seems like we hardly ever have a player that really makes it in the NBA so I thought I would look it up. The following list is the number of players each school has had in either the NBA or the ABA throughout history. This list only includes guys that actually played in an NBA game and does not include guys that were drafted but never made it.

UK 71
LSU 32
UT 29
Bama 24
Ark 24
SC 22
UF 20
AU 18
UGA 15
Vandy 15
MSU 11
OM 8

I wonder where we would fall with Major League Baseball in all time?

I know we're not UK, but that just seems low. For instance, Derrick Zimmerman played 2 games with the Nets. Did you count Walter Sharpe?...

/I see that you said "really makes it", so 11 is probably right on that front. But "actually played in an NBA game" would be higher, I would think.

One list I looked at had 11 and the other had 13 that have played at all in an NBA game. Either one still leaves us at next to last.

Jeff Malone
Derrick Zimmerman
Donte Jones
Eric Dampier
Lawrence Roberts
Tang Hamilton
Joe Courtney (who transferred to USM I believe)
Ricky Brown
Raymond Brown
Red Stroud
Wiley Peck
Bailey Howell
Leland Mitchell

I guess if we count Courtney then we could claim Sharpe.

I would've guessed 6 maybe.

I can name Johnny Neumann, played in both the ABA and NBA, John Stroud, Gerald Glass, Justin Reed, and Ansu Sesay.

Terrico White logged 4 minutes of preseason ball this year, but no regular season numbers. I don't know if he's played in the D-league this year or what, but that's all I could find on him.

During this post I happened to find a list of all of our players that have played in the pros.

You add Carlos Clark from the 80s, Roger Stieg from the 80s, Elston Turner from the 80s, John Billups from the 70s, Cob Jarvis from the 50s, and Denver Brackeen from the 50s to Neumann, Stroud, Glass, Reed, and Sesay. That actually gets us to 11, and we also show a Patrick Eddie who played 1 season with the Knicks in the 90s, which would make 12, not counting Terrico who hasn't logged an official minute yet.

I don't remember many of those and haven't heard of many either, but that's what we show on our website, none of which had careers that were much to talk about.

According to the website I saw, Ole Miss has had:

Ansu Sesay
Elston Turner
John Stroud
Justin Reed
Patric Eddie
Carlos Clark
Johnny Neuman
Gerald Glass

White played 4 minutes in a preseason game but has yet to play in a regular season game which is all this list consists of.
