Only like 2 of this list made the NBA. Not exactly stiff competition (aside from Baron).

Edit: Missed Earl Watson. So 3 plus a cup of coffee from Will Avery.

Interesting list... Obviously KEA was a stud, as was Baron Davis and Larry Hughes had a pretty productive NBA career (10000+ pts). Brunner, I thought, commited to GTown first but was arrested and kicked off the time for wielding a samarai sword. Might have that order backwards. But he was supposed to be nasty and I think was an AND1 street ball guy for a while. Dean Oliver was very solid at Iowa; I have zero memory of the 'Nova kid. Jon DePina, I think was part of the group who commited to BC (along with Bynum, Elton Tyler and someone else; Michael Bradley?) who were all denied admission and basically killed the program for a bit. Depina ended up a pretty mediocre player at UMass I think.

I like looking at these old lists to just to see how things panned out.

1998 was pretty mediocre, especially up top. Of the top 10, Rashard Lewis was an all-star, Al Harrington was ok, but most of the others flamed out or were 11th guys.
