Which Conference Won in the Draft?

The NBA Draft was last night, so there is a lot of analysis of what took place, especially on the NBA side of things. However, as the Final Four Bog, we have to take a look at the action from the standpoint of the NCAA. You can get draft grades by NBA team anywhere. But where else can you get conference grades? Just taking a look at the first round, let’s determine the conference with the best players.

FIRST ROUND PICKS BY CONFERENCE

Pac 10 – 7
Big 12 – 4
Foreign - 4
Big East - 3
Big Ten - 3
SEC – 2
C-USA - 1
WAC – 1
MAAC – 1
ACC – 1
SBC – 1
Summit – 1
MWC - 1

Looks like the Pac-10 cleaned up. And they didn’t all get picked at the tail end of the first round, either. After Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, it was three straight Pac-10 players, and then Brook Lopez at 10, giving the Pac-10 four out of the top ten selections. Good luck with your new conferences (Eastern and Western) next year.
