NBA Draft: Which states produced the most picks over the past 5 seasons?
June 23 was a night filled with surprises, reaches, drops, trades and international question marks.
In other words, it was a typical NBA Draft.
The 2022 draft started with Paolo Banchero going No. 1 to Orlando and finished with Frenchman Hugo Besson going No. 58 to Milwaukee.
Last night we took a state-by-state (and sometimes country by country) look at all the players picked in the draft based on where they finished their high school careers (if they had high school careers).
Today we're taking you back through the past five drafts, sorting the draftees according to the state where they played their final year of high school basketball.
