How often do you see this? It’s natural for even basketball programs to have more players taken in the NFL Draft than NBA Draft. After all, the NFL Draft is seven rounds with 32 teams. It’s only two rounds with 30 teams in the NBA. But with the Tennessee Vols, it’s even more rare because they are traditionally a football school.
There was a period of time where nobody from UT was a significant player in the NBA. But that could actually change this year. As the NFL Draft gears up to be held in Tennessee this year, an off-chance exists in which no Tennessee football players are taken.
