The only two current NBA players who are also NCAA champs.

Not sure if I'm missing a joke, but that's definitely not the complete list.

Christian Braun
Jordan Hawkins
Ochai Agbaji
Davion Mitchell
De'Andre Hunter
Mikhal Bridges
Justin Jackson
Josh Hart
Tyus Jones
Al Horford


Joke appears to on me - a bit of bad research. At least it prompted a legit list :wink:

Mines not necessarily a complete list, I just quit looking. Al Horford I knew off the top of my head, then I liked last year through I think 2012, stopped there

Yeah, I entirely misread a report, but the gist of it is:

"Just two of the top 50 NBA players won a championship in college, and just 6 played in a Final Four." That'd be Davis and Brunson. I think.

(Based on The Ringer's player rankings)

As compared to his Ignite teammate Buzelis, Holland projects better based solely on statistical performance. Holland is the superior scorer, is nearly nine months younger and racks up steals in impressive fashion. Only Sheppard has a better steal projection among top-30 players. Holland simply seems to be taking a disproportionate amount of blame for G League Ignite's noncompetitive 2-32 regular-season record. - Kevin Pelton, ESPN+
