Good run

So on UW's run in the NCAA tourney, every team they played against after the first round had a player that was drafted in the NBA draft. They played against 13 players that were drafted, and had 2 for a total of 15. The NBA only drafts 60 players, and 14 of those were foreign players. Of the 15 players, 11 were picked in the first 24 picks, and 8 in the top 13.    

Oregon- Joseph Young #43

North Carolina JP Tokoto #58

Arizona Stanley Johnson #8, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson #23

Kentucky Karl-Anthony Towns #1, Willie Cauley-Stein #6, Trey Lyles #12, Devin Booker #13, Andrew Harrison #44, Dakari Johnson #48

Duke Jahlil Okafor #3, Justice Winslow #10, Tyus Jones #24
