Looking at NBA Draft prospects on the WSU roster
The NBA season tipped off this week, which means there is no better time to think about Coug basketball and the next level.
Washington State is not known for being a powerhouse when it comes to producing NBA talent, but there have been some highlights. The obvious guy everyone points to is four-time champion and future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. Aron Baynes, Craig Ehlo, and James Donaldson all put together long pro-careers as well, but every other former Coug has gotten little more than a cup of coffee in the NBA. Most recently, Malachi Flynn and CJ Elleby were drafted in 2020, but only one of those players finished their college careers in Pullman.
