According to ESPN, UofL ranks 18th in this category which is hard to follow and understand IMO.
UofL has had 94 first round draft choices from 2009 to 2018. Not bad. The teams who ranked higher yet had fewer first round draft choices are:
#3 Duke - 88 first round draft choices
#4 UofK - 93 first round draft choices
#6 Syracuse - 78 first round draft choices
#12 UConn - 78 first round draft choices
#14 Washington - 75 first round draft choices
#16 Tennessee - 66 first round draft choices
#17 Georgia - 86 first round draft choices
That's 7 programs ESPN ranked higher in spite of having fewer first round draft choices.
Bias? You betcha!
