Curious if anyone has ever been drafted, not EE, from a division 2 school? If so, have there many?

Think that's my only one. Not even my best D2 player, but had a good year and we went to championship game...

scratch that - S16 his Sr year - back-to-back title game losses the 2 seasons prior.

Interesting Dacj501......I have seen some that sure look better than some Div 1 that were drafted. I assume it does nothing for prestige in Div 2 (course with back to back championship games and a S16, who needs anything more).

He's a really good D2 player, but 0 chance he gets drafted.

Perhaps...but he appears to be still progressing with at least 20 games in season remaining (1 non conf,... conf....conf tourney...and shoe in for Nationals)

it seems to me there haven't been many D2 players drafted in the past few years. 5+ years ago you'd maybe see a D2 player drafted every 2-3 seasons.
I thought this guy from Rupp had a chance to be drafted. Nice ratings, impressive college stats and list of awards.

yea is impressive

I have had a player drafted from D2 before, Joshua Nicastro - Bryant University. I have also had a conference mate in Smith have a guy leave after his junior year and get drafted out of D2. I'm fairly certain you had to win NPOY to be drafted out of D2. Also this was back when you could pull down players who were ranked higher, I believe my guy was the #93 PG.

I know they have some changed some things making it nearly impossible to get a guy drafted out of D2 now.

yeah, if this guy isn't getting drafted, it's not happening at d2 anymore. on top of the stats and awards, he had team success those seasons where he absolutely dominated.

Here are the 3 best D2 players of all 10 worlds in my mind(or at least most Big capable)

Mount Olive devilowl14 Crum

86 ath 83 spd 99 def 99 per 99 bh 51 pas 99 sta A- FT 833 overall

Cal St Poly trentonjoe Tark

87 ath 94 spd 100 def 82 per 100 bh 47 pas 93 sta C+ FT 758 overall

Virginia Union milwood Knight

80 ath 79 spd 87 def 92 per 81 bh 82 pas 77 sta B FT 728 overall

Now keep in mind Duncan(VUU) is at the start of his senior year and hasn't had 1 practice so could end up a lot higher whereas Crum and Tark are pretty much at the end of the senior seasons.

Now I think the first guy is the best, but I don't think he still gets drafted. Here's the most recent draft from Knight and the last 6 drafted players:


JR. 89 ath 88 spd 42 reb 95 def 84 lp 76 per 83 bh 82 pas 71 sta C+ FT 864 OVR

SO. 95 ath 50 spd 95 reb 92 def 90 sb 89 lp 36 per 39 bh 63 pas 71 sta D FT 848 OVR

SR/5. 94 ath 34 spd 99 reb 100 def 74 sb 100 lp 77 sta C+ FT 809 OVR

SR. 99 ath 81 spd 43 reb 99 def 82 lp 62 per 92 bh 72 pas 84 sta C+ FT 887 OVR

SO. 89 ath 55 spd 95 reb 93 def 89 sb 86 lp 41 bh 72 pas 76 sta C- FT 810 OVR

SR. 71 ath 79 spd 55 reb 95 def 42 sb 94 lp 93 per 60 bh 65 pas 81 sta C- FT 895 OVR

I don't think anyone is getting drafted from D2 barring someone getting an even better version than the guy devilowl14 has. And I think someone said you used to be able to pull down higher ranked players to D2 which you can't. Maybe with the update someone can find a hidden gem that gets passed over by D1 and is a freak of nature.

No D2 players (to my knowledge) have been drafted since the draft re-vamp a couple years ago that de-emphasized stats and awards. Now, you can get a pretty good sense of who is getting drafted based on the Big Board.

What about this guy:
https://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Stats.aspx?tid=2988&pid=3226166

He should be two-time national player of the year and average 20+ points the last two seasons...
