No. 12 – Michigan State

The Spartans are always a very consistent team, but they tend to produce a limited amount of NBA stars. But. Michigan State has a lot of potential currently in the NBA along with the fact they are the college of Magic Johnson. Johnson was the star for the Lakers when they won a lot of their titles, and they are also the college of one of the most underrated players in the history of the NBA, Zach Randolph. Randolph played for a team during his prime that was not centralized on scoring in the Grizzlies.

Now, in the NBA they have players that are developing very well. People like Gary Harris, Jaren Jackson Jr., and who can forget Draymond Green. All of those players look like they could turn into something special. Draymond is already established, but Jackson had a great rookie season with Memphis.

They also have great role players in Bryn Forbes and Miles Bridges. This school while it does not produce a large number of stars produces a large amount of very good players. If many of their current day players produce at a high level they could very easily move up on this list.
