As the 2022-23 NBA season gets ready to begin on Tuesday, October 18, Sun Devil fans will recognize several familiar faces when tuning in to the games. Arizona State Men's Basketball's presence at the professional level continues to grow, with five Sun Devils playing at the NBA level as the 2022-23 season gets underway.
James Harden (76ers), Lu Dort (Thunder), Josh Christopher (Rockets), Zylan Cheatham (Pelicans), and Rob Edwards (Bucks) are all on a roster within the NBA system. The last time the program has had this many individuals in the NBA to start a season was 2013, when Carrick Felix and Jeff Ayres joined James Harden on an opening day roster.
