Although All-WCC big man Eric Mika didn't hear his name called in the NBA draft on Thursday night, the BYU Cougars have still had plenty of success with players being picked since the draft started. In fact, 42 Cougars have been selected since the draft began in 1947.
Of those 42 players, 18 played at least one game in the NBA or ABA with varying levels of success. There have been players who have made All-Star game appearances and won championship rings while others didn't live up to their lofty draft position.
