NCAA Basketball: Top 15 programs that produces great NBA players
By Josh Stevens
No. 10 – Marquette
If your team ever needs a shooting guard, Marquette is a school to look at. They have produced high-level NBA shooting guards in recent history at a fairly high rate. Players like Dwayne Wade, Jimmy Butler, and Wes Matthews are all from the Golden Eagles. Also, other solid players are Jae Crowder, Doc Rivers, and Maurice Lucas.
While they do not have the storied history of many other schools I really love Marquette. They just are a very solid team every year, they produce solid next level players, and they have a great color scheme. But now about their players, D-Wade is someone that many consider being the third best shooting guard behind MJ and Kobe.
Jimmy is arguably a top-3 defender by the perimeter and is in for a big payday this offseason. Marquette is a team that does not constantly put out big names, but overall they produce solid players. They have also had a dud in Henry Ellenson, but one player out of the 38 that they have had appear in the NBA be a bust in the draft is not bad.
