5. Georgetown (9)

No. 1 overall picks: Patrick Ewing, Allen Iverson

Other lottery picks: Otto Porter, Greg Monroe, Jeff Green, Mike Sweetney, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, and Reggie Williams

Georgetown has not had a player selected in the NBA draft in four years. Otto Porter, who is the last Hoya to be drafted in 2013, is coming off a career season in 2016-17.

But Georgetown is in this spot because of Ewing, Iverson, Mourning, and Mutombo. All four are members of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.  Sweetney is the only one who could be considered a bust. Sweetney, the ninth player taken in the 2003 draft, played just four seasons in the NBA, though he finished with a 15.1 PER.
