When it comes to producing NBA talent, no college does it better - and in a higher volume - than the Kentucky Wildcats. John Calipari's program, which has evolved into a one-and-done factory over recent years, currently boasts 25 players on active NBA rosters.
An even more impressive stat within Kentucky's 25 NBA players is that 12 of those have entered the league since 2015. During that span Kentucky hasn't had less than three players selected in the NBA Draft in any given year. In that same timeframe, however, the Blue Devils have been hot on Kentucky's heels with 10 players drafted, including an impressive 2017 draft that saw four players taken off the board in the first 31 picks.
Three players from last season's Kentucky team -- Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo and De'Aaron Fox were taken in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
Based on opening night rosters, here are the colleges with at least three players in the NBA.

Other former UK players in the NBA include Rajon Rondo - a former top-25 pick - Karl-Anthony Towns (pictured), Devin Booker and 2017 first rounders Malik Monk, De'Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo. The Suns boast four former Wildcats, a close second to the Sacramento Kings, which has three former Kentucky stars.

Harrison Barnes (pictured) spent two seasons at North Carolina before declaring for the NBA Draft.The eldest NBA Tar Heel is none other than Vince Carter, who was a member of the 1998 draft—yes, 1998! And still going strong! They also boast a number of other valuable NBA contributors across the landscape including Raymond Felton and Danny Green, among others. 2017 first-rounder Justin Jackson was the 48th first round pick in the program's illustrious history, and the 16th under Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams.

Lonzo Ball (pictured) was the No. 2 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, but check this insanity out: Kevin Love, Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook and Luc Mbah a Moute were all on the same team once at the same time in Westwood!

Zona doesn't have the crowd that some of the aforementioned blue bloods can boast in the NBA, but where they make up for it is in quality. The Wildcats have a number of players which have been productive for many years in the NBA, not the least of which include Richard Jefferson, Andre Iguodola, and Jason Terry. Aaron Gordon and Lauri Markkanen (pictured) are two youngsters from the school who have promising futures in the league. Gordon has expanded his game this season with a 3-point shot and could be a star in the making.

The Orange have arguably one of the top five most productive NBA players on this list in former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony (pictured), who was a one-and-done player who won the NCAA Tournament with Syracuse as a freshman in 2003. Jerami Grant, Dion Waiters, Tyler Ennis and Wesley Johnson are others among the nine still making their presence felt in the NBA.

When most of people think of Texas pros, they think of none other than Kevin Durant (pictured). But the Horns have nearly a dozen quality pros other than the former Texas one-and-done. Myles Turner, LaMarcus Aldridge and P.J. Tucker are the names most know. Tristan Thompson, Sheldon Mac and Avery Bradley are others that might surprise you. The program has had a staggering seven first-rounders since 2010.
Brooklyn Nets: Jarrett Allen
Cleveland Cavaliers: Tristan Thompson
Detroit Pistons: Avery Bradley
Golden State Warriors: Kevin Durant
Houston Rockets: PJ Tucker
Indiana Pacers: Cory Joseph
Indiana Pacers: Myles Turner
Orlando Magic: D.J. Augustin
San Antonio Spurs: LaMarcus Aldridge
The Gators haven't produced an NBA Draft pick since Erik Murphy came off the board late in the second round in 2013. That doesn't change the fact that Florida has produced talent like only few have in the SEC. Bradley Beal, Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Udonis Haslem are the most notable alums hailing from The Swamp, and a total of eight are still producing in the league in some capacity, including Dorian Finney-Smith (pictured), who went undrafted in 2016.
Boston Celtics: Al Horford
Dallas Mavericks: Dorian Finney-Smith
Los Angeles Lakers: Corey Brewer
Memphis Grizzlies: Chandler Parsons
Miami Heat: Udonis Haslem
New York Knicks: Joakim Noah
Orlando Magic: Marreese Speights
Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal
The Hoosiers have eight NBA players in the league, with Thomas Bryant - a late pick in the 2017 second round - teetering on active roster status with the Lakers. OG Anunoby, Victor Oladipo and Yogi Ferrell (pictured) are among those in the NBA after successful college careers in Bloomington. Eric Gordon is enjoying perhaps the most productive of the bunch thus far, coming off a Sixth Man of the Year campaign in 2016.
Charlotte Hornets: Cody Zeller
Dallas Mavericks: Yogi Ferrell
Houston Rockets: Eric Gordon
Houston Rockets: Troy Williams
Indiana Pacers: Victor Oladipo
Los Angeles Lakers: Thomas Bryant
Portland Trail Blazers: Noah Vonleh

The Washington NBA revolution is real. In fact, all seven of the current Huskies in the NBA have made their way to the league since 2010. Among those are Quincy Pondexter and a slew of talented point guards in Markelle Fultz (pictured), Dejounte Murray and Isaiah Thomas.
Chicago Bulls: Justin Holiday
Chicago Bulls: Quincy Pondexter

Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz
Phoenix Suns: Marquese Chriss

Brooklyn Nets: Caris LeVert
Indiana Pacers: Glenn Robinson III
Milwaukee Bucks: D.J. Wilson
Minnesota Timberwolves: Jamal Crawford
New York Knicks: Tim Hardaway Jr.
Philadelphia 76ers: Nik Stauskas
You're already thinking of Draymond Green, aren't you? Of course you are. And you should be. The former Spartan-turned second-rounder is a bonafide All-Star and headline name of the Michigan State NBA players. He's not the only one, though. Zach Randolph and Denzel Valentine (pictured) are also notable names in the league, as is Gary Harris of the Nuggets and Bryn Forbes of the Spurs. Miles Bridges, a superstar sophomore, will likely be near the top of this list next season.
Chicago Bulls: Denzel Valentine
Denver Nuggets: Gary Harris
Golden State Warriors: Draymond Green
Memphis Grizzlies: Deyonta Davis
Sacramento Kings: Zach Randolph
San Antonio Spurs: Bryn Forbes
Chris Paul has been, and maybe forever will be, the co-face of the Wake Forest-turned NBA product alongside retired big man Tim Duncan. But the Demon Deacons have a handful of other talented players in the league as well, including Ish Smith, Jeff Teague, John Collins (pictured) Al-Farouq Aminu, and James Johnson.
Atlanta Hawks: John Collins
Detroit Pistons: Ish Smith
Houston Rockets: Chris Paul
Miami Heat: James Johnson
Minnesota Timberwolves: Jeff Teague
Portland Trail Blazers: Al-Farouq Aminu
Of the five former Huskies in the NBA, two - Jeremy Lamb and Kemba Walker (pictured) - are on the same squad for the Charlotte Hornets. Rudy Gay, Andre Drummond and Shabazz Napier round out the other three UConn-turned-NBA'ers. The last time UConn churned out a first-rounder, however, was 2014 when Shabazz Napier was selected with the 24th overall pick. And the last lottery pick? Andre Drummond in 2012.
Charlotte Hornets: Jeremy Lamb
Charlotte Hornets: Kemba Walker
Detroit Pistons: Andre Drummond
Portland Trail Blazers: Shabazz Napier
San Antonio Spurs: Rudy Gay
The Yellow Jackets haven't had a player drafted in the first round since Iman Shumpert in 2011, but almost all the former Georgia Tech players in the NBA had their names called early in the draft. Shumpert was the No. 17 overall pick, Derrick Favors was the No. 3 pick in 2010, and in 2007 Thaddeus Young was selected with the 12th overall pick. Currently Ga. Tech has five still in the league: Young, Shumpert, Favors, Jarrett Jack and undrafted guard Marcus Georges-Hunt (pictured), who is with the Timberwolves.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Iman Shumpert
Indiana Pacers: Thaddeus Young
Minnesota Timberwolves: Marcus Georges-Hunt
New York Knicks: Jarrett Jack
Utah Jazz: Derrick Favors
For a school with such an illustrious basketball program, it's a wonder that Louisville is so far down on this list of programs with the most NBA players. The Cardinals can lay claim to five in the league currently in Terry Rozier (pictured), Chinanu Onuaku, Montrezl Harrell, Gorgui Dieng, and 2017 lottery pick Donovan Mitchell. Senior big man Anas Mahmoud might be next on this budding list.
Credit: USATSILSU has five former Tigers in the league headlined by 2016 No. 1 pick and rising star Ben Simmons (pictured). Last year, Simmons became the second LSU player to be taken with the first pick in the NBA Draft, joining the company of none other than Hall of Fame big man Shaquille O'Neal. Jordan Mickey, Garrett Temple, Jarrell Martin and Johnny O'Bryant are the other LSU-turned-NBA players still in the league. They boast the third-most pros out of schools from the SEC.
Charlotte Hornets: Johnny O'Bryant III
Memphis Grizzlies: Jarell Martin
Miami Heat: Jordan Mickey
Philadelphia 76ers: Ben Simmons
Sacramento Kings: Garrett Temple
While Marquette doesn't have an army of professionals, it certainly has some high-level players making their mark on the league. Dwyane Wade (pictured). Jimmy Butler. Wesley Matthews. Jae Crowder. Henry Ellenson. That's quite the list.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Jae Crowder
Cleveland Cavaliers: Dwyane Wade
Dallas Mavericks: Wesley Matthews
Detroit Pistons: Henry Ellenson
Minnesota Timberwolves: Jimmy Butler
Amazingly, four of the five Oregon players in the NBA have entered the league since 2015. Dillon Brooks (pictured), Tyler Dorsey and Jordan Bell round out a three-man bunch that invaded the second round of the NBA Draft in 2017. Taking that into consideration, in hindsight, it's no surprise that Oregon was able to string together a run to the Final Four in 2017. The Ducks had a ton of talent which the NBA is now better for.
Atlanta Hawks: Tyler Dorsey
Golden State Warriors: Jordan Bell
Indiana Pacers: Joe Young
Memphis Grizzlies: Dillon Brooks
Minnesota Timberwolves: Aaron Brooks
DeMar DeRozan, Taj Gibson and Nick Young (pictured) are names most everyone familiar with the NBA can immediately recognize from USC's program. DeWayne Dedmon and Nikola Vucevic round out the five Trojans in the league. On average, USC players drafted since 2001 have spent more than 6 years in the NBA.
Atlanta Hawks: Dewayne Dedmon
Golden State Warriors: Nick Young
Minnesota Timberwolves: Taj Gibson
Orlando Magic: Nikola Vucevic
Toronto Raptors: DeMar DeRozan
The Bears of Baylor have had six players drafted since 2010, but only three - Quincy Acy, Ekpe Udoh, and Taurean Prince (pictured) - remain in the NBA. Rounding out the bunch of Baylor pros is Royce O'Neale, an undrafted, unheralded small forward in 2015 currently with the Jazz. He's teammates with fellow former Baylor star Ekpe Udoh in Utah.
Atlanta Hawks: Taurean Prince
Brooklyn Nets: Quincy Acy
Utah Jazz: Royce O'Neale
Utah Jazz: Ekpe Udoh
Cal has but four players in the league, three of whom have entered the league since 2013: Jaylen Brown (pictured), Ivan Rabb and Allen Crabbe. Ryan Crabbe, a member of the 2008 draft class, is thriving as a sharpshooter for the burgeoning Western Conference contending Houston Rockets. Keep an eye on Jabari Bird, a 2017 draft class member on a two-way contract with the Celtics, as a player who could burst into the league in the future.
Boston Celtics: Jaylen Brown
Brooklyn Nets: Allen Crabbe
Houston Rockets: Ryan Anderson
Memphis Grizzlies: Ivan Rabb
The Buffs have produced a string of NBA talent over the last decade. The headline name is $30 million dollar man Andre Roberson of the Thunder, but Spencer Dinwiddie (pictured) of the Nets and Alec Burks of the Jazz have been respectably productive in the league in their own regard. Derrick White, the fourth of the Colorado pros, has a bright future with the Spurs.
Brooklyn Nets: Spencer Dinwiddie
Oklahoma City Thunder: Andre Roberson
San Antonio Spurs: Derrick White
Utah Jazz: Alec Burks
Did you know Kyle Korea is a former Creighton-ite? That's right. The 51st pick of the 2003 NBA Draft, Korver is thriving in the twilight of his career with the championship-contending Cleveland Cavaliers. He's the veteran of the former Creighton-turned-NBA players along with Anthony Tolliver. Doug McDermott (pictured), now with the Knicks, and Justin Patton of the Timberwolves, are still youngsters finding their way in the league.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyle Korver
Detroit Pistons: Anthony Tolliver
Minnesota Timberwolves: Justin Patton
New York Knicks: Doug McDermott
Leonard Hamilton has churned out a bevy of talented players from Tallahassee over the years, but perhaps none more so than the two he sent to the NBA this offseason in Dwayne Bacon and Jonathan Isaac (pictured). The two rookies join second year NBA player Malik Beasley and Class of 2014 undrafted big man Okaro White, who is in his second year with the Miami Heat.
Charlotte Hornets: Dwayne Bacon
Denver Nuggets: Malik Beasley
Miami Heat: Okaro White
Orlando Magic: Jonathan Isaac
The Buckeyes produced NBA players at a consistent rate under Thad Matta, from Greg Oden to Mike Conley to Evan Turner. There are four former Ohio State players still in the league, now: D'Angelo Russell (pictured), Conley, Evan Turner and Kosta Koufos. All four averaged double figures while in Columbus.
Brooklyn Nets: D'Angelo Russell
Memphis Grizzlies: Mike Conley
Portland Trail Blazers: Evan Turner
Sacramento Kings: Kosta Koufos
Fun fact: Half of Stanford's players who are now in the NBA are twins - Robin and Brook Lopez. The Thunder's Josh Huestis (pictured) and Mavericks' Dwight Powell round out the former Cardinals.
Chicago Bulls: Robin Lopez
Dallas Mavericks: Dwight Powell
Los Angeles Lakers: Brook Lopez
Oklahoma City Thunder: Josh Huestis
The Runnin' Rebels sent two to the league in 2016 in Derrick Jones and Patrick McCaw (pictured), both of which remain on their respective rosters. McCaw, even on a championship-winning Warriors roster, has carved out a niche; Jones has been more of a bit player, as has the other three former Rebels in Rashad Vaughn and Khem Birch.
Golden State Warriors: Patrick McCaw
Milwaukee Bucks: Rashad Vaughn
Orlando Magic: Khem Birch
Phoenix Suns: Derrick Jones Jr.
Outside of the 6-foot-5 Delon Wright, every former Ute in the league is 6-foot-9 or taller - headlined by two 7-footers in Andrew Bogut and Jakob Poeltl (pictured). 6-9 Kyle Kuzma might have been the most unheralded coming out of Utah, but he might just be the player with the highest upside of the bunch.
Los Angeles Lakers: Kyle Kuzma
Los Angeles Lakers: Andrew Bogut
Toronto Raptors: Jakob Poeltl
Toronto Raptors: Delon Wright
Jay Wright knows how to recruit and develop talent, and has done so at an elite level since taking over the program in 2001. From Kyle Lowry to Randy Foye to Josh Hart (pictured), there's been five of his understudies which have gone on to be drafted. Dante Cunningham, Josh Hart and Kyle Lowry remain in the league, and Lowry's the richest of 'em all after signing a reported $100 million deal this offseason.
Los Angeles Lakers: Josh Hart
New Orleans Pelicans: Dante Cunningham
San Antonio Spurs: Darrun Hilliard
Toronto Raptors: Kyle Lowry
Malcom Brogdon (pictured) went from ACC Player of the Year as a senior at Virginia to NBA Rookie of the Year with the Bucks last season. He headlines a group of four former Cavaliers still contributing in the league along with Justin Anderson, Joe Harris and Mike Scott.
Brooklyn Nets: Joe Harris
Milwaukee Bucks: Malcolm Brogdon
Philadelphia 76ers: Justin Anderson
Washington Wizards: Mike Scott
Sharpshooting veteran Devin Harris is a 14-year vet representing the eldest of the former Badgers. Jon Leuer, Sam Dekker, and 2014-15 National Player of the Year in college basketball, Frank Kaminsky (pictured), are the other three pros.
Charlotte Hornets: Frank Kaminsky
Dallas Mavericks: Devin Harris
Detroit Pistons: Jon Leuer
Los Angeles Clippers: Sam Dekker

Chicago Bulls: Bobby Portis
Los Angeles Clippers: Patrick Beverley
Utah Jazz: Joe Johnson
All three former Georgetown players in the league - Greg Monroe, Otto Porter Jr. (pictured) and Jeff Green - are thriving. Each of them have averaged at least 9.5 points per game throughout their careers in the NBA, with Porter Jr. experiencing a breakout in 2017 with an absurd 18.7 PPG average.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Jeff Green
Milwaukee Bucks: Greg Monroe
Washington Wizards: Otto Porter Jr.
It's no surprise that Gonzaga's first-ever run to the Final Four and national title game coincided with the extreme talent influx in Spokane. The Zags have sent three to the league since 2013 including two in the past two seasons in Zach Collins and Domas Sabonis. Kelly Olynyk (pictured), the WCC Player of the Year in his final season as a Bulldogs in 2012-13, is now a pivotal piece of the Miami Heat's core after signing this past offseason.
Indiana Pacers: Domantas Sabonis
Miami Heat: Kelly Olynyk
Portland Trail Blazers: Zach Collins
Both Wesley Iwundu and Michael Beasley (pictured), two of the three players drafted from K-State since 2000, are on active NBA rosters. Undrafted 2013 free agent Rodney McGruder, a major piece of the Miami Heat rotation, is the third of the former Cats in the league.
Miami Heat: Rodney McGruder
New York Knicks: Michael Beasley
Orlando Magic: Wes Iwundu
The great Derrick Rose (pictured), a one-and-done star under John Calipari in Memphis, is the headline name of the three former Memphians. Will Barton and Tyreke Evans bring up the caboose of the NBA players from the one-time basketball powerhouse.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Derrick Rose
Denver Nuggets: Will Barton
Memphis Grizzlies: Tyreke Evans
Miami has two active players in the NBA in Sheldon Mac and Shane Larkin (pictured). The third, Davon Reed, underwent meniscus surgery in the preseason and could miss his entire rookie season after being taken by the Suns with the 32nd overall pick of the draft.
Boston Celtics: Shane Larkin
Phoenix Suns: Davon Reed
Washington Wizards: Sheldon Mac
Shout out to JaVale McGee (pictured), the single most famous former Nevada hoopster in the history of the program! The famous Golden State Warrior is joined by Ramon Sessions of the Knicks and Luke Babbitt of the Hawks.
Atlanta Hawks: Luke Babbitt
Golden State Warriors: JaVale McGee
New York Knicks: Ramon Sessions
All three of the former Cowboys in the league are guards. Marcus Smart (pictured) and Jawun Evans are former five-star recruits who blazed their path through Stillwater. They are joined by The Grindfather, Tony Allen, among the list of former Pokes.
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart
Los Angeles Clippers: Jawun Evans
New Orleans Pelicans: Tony Allen
Remember Caleb Swanigan (pictured), Mr. Double-Double himself? He's the youngest of those who came through the heralded Boilermakers program as a member of the 2017 NBA Draft class. He's joined by A.J. Hammons and 7-year NBA vet E'Twaun Moore.
Miami Heat: AJ Hammons
New Orleans Pelicans: E'Twaun Moore
Portland Trail Blazers: Caleb Swanigan
Saint Joseph's is represented well in the NBA with alums DeAndre' Bembry (pictured), Jameer Nelson and Langston Galloway. Between the three of them, they've been on 10 different NBA teams.
Atlanta Hawks: DeAndre' Bembry
Denver Nuggets: Jameer Nelson
Detroit Pistons: Langston Galloway
