6. UConn (13)

Lottery picks: Donyell Marshall, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Charlie Villaneuva, Rudy Gay, Hilton Armstrong, Hasheem Thabeet, Kemba Walker, Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb.

UConn has the sixth most players taken in the NBA lottery. The Huskies have developed several great pros. Allen is one of the great players of his era and is one of the best three-point shooters of all-time. Also, Allen was twice an All-NBA team selection and is a likely Hall of Famer.

Hamilton and Butler were selected to multiple all-star appearances. In the meantime, Drummond, Walker, and Gay have been selected to the all-star game once. Walker and Drummond are still young with a lot of ability to grow.

Marshall and Villanueva put in more than 10 years in the NBA. Lamb is developing into a good role player.

Thabeet is the Huskies biggest draft bust with Armstrong a close second.
