Since it is draft week, it’s time to look at some of the former Indiana basketball players who have had the most success in the NBA since the one-and-done rule was implemented.

It’s draft day for the NBA and the Indiana basketball program.

Romeo Langford is slated to hear his name called in the lottery, or just outside, and become the next former Indiana player to join the NBA.

Though the Hoosiers haven’t necessarily had a lot of stars in the NBA in recent years, they have still seen their fair share of talent come through the program.

Since the 2004 draft, the first draft class that made it mandatory to go to college for at least one year, Indiana has had six first round draft selections, but all of them made or are making impacts in the league.

Names like Yogi Ferrell and Troy Williams, who weren’t drafted, have still seen NBA minutes and Ferrell has cemented himself as a nice backup point guard in the league.

We saw OG Anunoby be part of the Toronto Raptors playoff run that ended in the franchise’s first NBA Championship this year.

Some names have stayed with a team for multiple years, while others have bounced around and played for multiple organizations.

These are the top five Indiana players in the NBA who were drafted after 2003.
