3 of first 33 picks in NBA Draft reaffirms Arizona’s place in pro production pipeline

Sean Miller deserves credit for getting Benn Mathurin, Dalen Terry and Christian Koloko to Tucson.

Tommy Lloyd will get the credit for what they do in the NBA.

Including the most recent three, Arizona has had more than 70 players selected in the NBA Draft. It’s an incredible number, and you need only go back as last week to find a way to use it to poke fun at Arizona State.

But while Arizona has provided the world’s best league with plenty of players, the unfortunate reality is that, at least lately, few have lived up to their draft position or expectations.
