Here’s the updated history on UConn players who have been drafted.
Still hard to believe that the Lakers used a second round pick for the rights to Majok. With one playing year at UConn, he can claim that he was drafted with Kemba. Go figure.

Not sure where to put this but here seemed like a good place.
It's good to be the King and at this point there's no disputing UConn's status as the Kings of college basketball.
A few years ago did you ever think you'd read that statement?
Former five-star and McDonald's All-American Stephon Castle proved that you don't have to get a ton of shots or even be the number one option at UConn to be a top pick (No. 4 overall to the San Antonio Spurs). Castle's one-and-done status paired with a national championship should only help the Huskies lure more elite talent to Storrs.
Homegrown center Donovan Clingan showed that there are still NBA teams that value a traditional big with size. Clingan went No. 7 overall to the Portland Trailblazers and leaves UConn with two titles in two college seasons.
And then maybe even more important, Hurley and the Huskies scored big wins for their development and ability to find previously under-the-radar talent in the transfer portal. Tristen Newton (East Carolina) and Cam Spencer (Loyola Maryland and then Rutgers) two guards who began their careers at mid-majors, were taken at No. 49 and No. 53 in the second round. UConn proved they can find the right pieces from portal and plug them into key roles to win at the highest level

Big East cited as a "Winner" also in here.

WINNER: UCONN HUSKIES
Life couldn't get much better for Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies. UConn has won each of the last two National Championships, generated a ton of positive publicity when Hurley very publicly turned down an offer to become the Los Angeles Lakers' head coach, and now, they've produced the most picks in this year's draft.Former five-star and McDonald's All-American Stephon Castle proved that you don't have to get a ton of shots or even be the number one option at UConn to be a top pick (No. 4 overall to the San Antonio Spurs).
