No. 9 – Georgia Tech

The Yellow Jackets are a team that you would not think to be a producer of NBA talent. Chris Bosh, Derrick Favors, and Stephon Marbury would all have something to say about that. They have a total of nine players who average at least 10 points per game during their careers, five that get five rebounds a game, and three that get five assists a game. They also have a promising prospect in Josh Okogie.

They also have an underrated player in Mark Price who had quite a few good seasons with the Cavaliers, one of those seasons he averaged 19.5 points and dished out 9.1 assists a game. They are also the University of other role players such as Jarrett Jack and Anthony Morrow. While the Yellow Jackets might not produce stars that often they have produced a couple.

Before Chris Bosh was hit with the injury bug he was going to be one of the best Power Forwards in the NBA and Derrick Favors is still a very good player to date, his numbers are just hurt by the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell crisis in Utah.

I like the potential of Okogie, and to go along with that I love how the school is starting to turn the corner again meaning they should start to produce more NBA level players.
