What NCAA Basketball programs are the best at grooming their athletes into future NBA stars?

Every year 60 people are drafted into the NBA, but how many of them will we remember is years to come. What schools though produce the best NBA talent? I see numerous times great NCAA Basketball players just not make it in the NBA. This might be in part due to how a team plays in college or just skill set. But still, I’m going to rank the best 15 schools in the nation at producing NBA level players.

No. 15 – Florida

The Gators are a team that never really has ever produced that All-NBA type of player until Bradley Beal broke out this season. They have however produced a number of just all-out solid players at the next level. The trio of Al Horford, Joakim Noah, and Corey Brewer have all been solid players in the NBA when they are healthy. You can even continue the ¨if they are healthy¨ theme with people like David Lee and Chandler Parsons.

So although they do not lead the country is great players, they do produce a lot of just overall good players, but they need to stay healthy. Florida was borderline on this list, but I gave them this spot after seeing what Beal did this season and thinking to myself what Noah, Parsons, and Lee could have been had they not gotten hurt.
