Ohio State basketball has produced some elite NBA players over the last decade, including the likes of Mike Conley, Evan Turner, D’Angelo Russell and many others.
However, Conley is the only one that cracked ESPN’s top 100, their annual breakdown of the top players in the NBA. Conley barely made the cut, being ranked 98th after being 93rd the season prior.
Russell was snubbed from the list despite being a key piece for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Conley is expected to be the starting point guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that has championship expectations this upcoming season. He averaged 11.4 points per game last season, shooting 45.7% from the field and 44.2% from deep.
He’s shot over 40% from deep in two straight seasons and in four of his last five. He’s also averaged 5.0 or more assists per game in five straight seasons. Conley is a strong starting point guard and is a quality floor general.
Expect a big season from the 37-year-old guard who has managed just 100 games over the last two seasons.
