The last time an A-10 player was selected in the NBA draft was back in 2012 when the Orlando Magic selected St. Bonaventure's Andrew Nicholson with the 19th overall selection in the 1st round.
According to nbadraft.net however, the three year lapse should come to an end when the 2016 NBA Draft rolls around. Nbadraft.net projects Rhode Island junior guard EC Matthews to be selected with the 28th overall pick. Time will tell, but one can only hope the streak will be put to rest.
Without a doubt, NBA draft selections help recruit highly touted high schoolers and help continue the strong quality of basketball in the Atlantic 10 moving forward.
