A league press release here. I always find these interesting though.

Speaking of, one of my favorite stats:

The last Iowa Hawkeye drafted in the 1st round of the NBA was Ricky Davis in 1998. We should be able to commemorate the 20th anniversary soon.

Kind of interesting because I feel like we haven't had that many picks.

1997 1 15 Kelvin Cato C 6-11 255 Sr -5 Iowa State Dallas Mavericks DAL to POR 10

That's 13 but Johnson, Taylor, Huluska and Hamilton were no longer Cyclones when drafted. I think they still count Taylor since ISU was the last college he attended.

I actually think it is only 9?

Searching the Wikipedia list of NBA drafts by year shows these ISU players drafted :

Georges Niang (16), Abdel Nader (16) , Royce White(12), Craig Brackins (10), Will Blalock (06), Jackson Vroman (04), Jamaal Tinsley (01), Marcus Fizer (00), Kelvin Cato (97)

Just missed the 20 year cutoff : Loren Meyer, Fred Hoiberg (95)

Maybe they're counting Monte already, or maybe they counted Adam Haluska

Or is the list above missing someone?

You beat me to it with more info too - good job!

I think what throws me off is the gap from 2007-2015. In that period we had 2 people actually selected over the 8 years.

Your list is accurate. Johnson (Syracuse), Hamilton (LSU), and Haluska (Iowa) made their bones at different universities prior to being drafted. I would count Taylor for ISU though since he didn't play elsewhere.
