Big 12 alums in the NBA

[jalbre6]

I lifted this off another board after my shock and awe at Nebraska for having four guys playing in the NBA. Thoughts?

Kansas (7)- Paul Pierce, Hinrich, LaFrentz, Vaughn, Ostertag, Pollard, Gooden

Iowa St (4) - Tinsley, Hoiberg, Fizer, Cato

Nebraska (4) - Lue, Mikki Moore, Piatowski, Erick Strickland

Mizzou (4) - Dooling, Troy Hudson, Peeler, Rush

UT (2) - Mihm, TJ Ford

Baylor (2) - Skinner, Wesley

Tech (2) - Battie, Ham

OU (1) - Najera

Okla St (1) - Derrick Mason

Colorado (1) - Billups

A&M (0)

K-State (0)

Yeah, kind of surprised to see Nebraska with that many players in the NBA. None of them are really big time players, just role player types, but making it to the NBA is a big achievement. Also, for the Horns I thought Royal Ivey was with the Hawks and then there is another guy with the Kings who played at Texas for one season after transferring from Wichita St., I guess technically he's a UT guy as well. That would give us 4 players in the NBA, right? Also, expect to see James Thomas make a roster next season, he was the NBDL rookie of the year this season, would not be surprised to see him make a team next season, probably as a D specialist. Hook'em!

Ivey is with the Hawks as is James Thomas.

You missed a few.

UT also has Royal Ivey and James Thomas, who are teammates in the ATL, and Maurice Evans, whos on the Kings.

Rookie Tony Allen played for OK ST, who now is on the Celtics.

Nick Collison is from Kansas who plays on the Sonics, who was drafted right after (or before) teammate Kirk Hinrich

Andre Emmett went to Tech and plays for the Grizz, but hes been injured all season

Feel free to add on what I missed.
