Which College Teams Were Hurt the Most from the NBA Draft?

A couple of days ago we did a little blog about what conferences had the most players drafted to play in the NBA. The Pac-10 was by far the most prolific college conference, especially at the top end. You had Love, Westbrook, Mayo, the Lopez twins, there were a lot. But by individual school, who will miss the largest number of outstanding players? We’re going to use the cool feature at basketball-reference.com to help us out. Here’s the list of schools with the most draft picks:

Kansas – 5
Memphis - 3
UCLA - 3
Georgetown – 2
Indiana – 2
Kansas State – 2
Stanford – 2
Cal - 2
Oregon – 2

So there you have it. Kansas, the national champion, certainly had the most draftable class. And they should. They were prided as the team that, although without a traditional star, was good in tall around. They lost most of their starting five. How will they ever recover?
