At No. 26 overall, Purdue post player Caleb Swanigan became the highest-picked Boilermaker since Glenn Robinson went No. 1 overall in 1994. He is Purdue's first first-round pick since JaJuan Johnson in 2011.
Swanigan's selection made it two consecutive years for Purdue with a player selected, both of them post players. He joins, A.J. Hammons, who was taken No. 46 last year. Despite being a second-round pick, Hammons played 22 NBA games last season with Dallas.
These rankings are based on the number of consecutive years with at least one draft pick, followed by success generating first-round picks and lottery picks.
