List of Michigan Wolverines in the NBA draft
The
The drafts held between 1947 and 1949 were held by the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The BAA became the National Basketball Association after absorbing teams from the National Basketball League in the fall of 1949. Official NBA publications include the BAA Drafts as part of the NBA's draft history. From 1967 until the ABA–NBA merger in 1976, the American Basketball Association (ABA) held its own draft.[5]
Through the 2023 NBA draft, a Wolverine has been chosen first overall two times in the history of the event, Cazzie Russell in 1966 and Chris Webber in 1993. Thirty-one Wolverines have been drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft, with Kobe Bufkin being the latest in 2023. The most Wolverines selected in the first round of a single NBA Draft is three, which happened in 1990. Six players have been selected to either an ABA or NBA All-Star Game, four have been a member of an NBA or ABA championship winning team, and three have achieved both. Two former Wolverines have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. [6]
