I dont understand what you did here, that is definitely an incomplete list. Just off the top of my head Damian Lillard was a senior and Kelly Olynyk was a senior. Age is what matters also, Cauley Stein just went 6th, he was 8 months younger than what Hield will be when drafted, many more cases just like that. Kris Dunn is 3 months younger than Hield.
Lillard was junior, same with KO.
No, actually they were seniors. Lillard was in school from 08/09 to 11/12 and Olynyk was in school from 09/10 to 12/13
Ill take your word on it (Wikipedia isn't exactly ironclad)
But...
For Kelly Olnyck, he apparently missed the 2011-2012 season. (just redshirted... Non-Medical reasons... REALLY fishy now)
So, his 4th year in college, was only the 3rd year (in the NCAA eyes?)
So, he was drafted as junior... TECHNICALLY...
Lillard, was Medically redshirted shortly into his junior season,
Which allowed his 4th season in college, to count as his Junior season
So, KO, and DL, NOT technically seniors when they were drafted, but, were 4 year college players.
I will go ahead and say that my initial list didn't go DEEP into each lotto pick of the last 14 years, but only looked at what they were designated as... Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman ...
So, there totally could be more names added to that list (which I will not add, because they were not 4 YEAR SENIORS)
