Kentucky and Duke have double the players in NBA than most of the top-10 colleges. Let&rsquo;s look at the Top-10 colleges with the most active NBA players from all over the nation. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Kentucky &ndash; 29 players <\/h2><p>Kentucky has consistently led all colleges in sending players to the NBA. From John Wall to  De&rsquo;Aaron Fox to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Maxey. Kentucky guards have a strong track record of translating college success into NBA impact. <\/p><p>However, the best prospect is Anthony Davis. A Top 75 honoree, one NBA championship and 10 All-Star selections. The big man is one of a specimen in his NBA career. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best starting five- <\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devin Booker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Karl-Anthony Towns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anthony Davis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bam Adebayo <\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Duke &ndash; 24 players <\/h2><p>With multiple first overall picks in Irving, Banchero and Williamson, Duke is producing talent of the highest calibre. Some of the best forwards in the league belong to Duke with another coming. Cooper Flagg is rumored to be the first pick of the 2025 NBA Draft. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best starting five &ndash; <\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kyrie Irving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brandon Ingran<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zion Williamson<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jayson Tatum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paolo Banchero<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. UCLA &ndash; 14 players<\/h2><p>Russell Westbrook is the best player ever to come out of UCLA. The Nuggets guard won the 2017 MVP and is the only player to have averaged a triple-double throughout a season for multiple seasons. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best starting five-<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Russell Westbrook <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jrue Holiday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zach Lavine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kevin Love<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kevon Looney<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Arizona &ndash; 12 players<\/h2><p>Lauri Markkanen is the pick of the bunch. The 7-footer is only behind Dirk Nowitzki in most threes made by a 7-footer. Nuggets&rsquo;, Aaron Gordon is also among the best after pairing up with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Starting five &ndash;<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>T.J.

Arkansas &ndash; 11 players<\/h2><p>Bobby Portis has played most of his career from the bench. Pairing up with Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee, Portis&rsquo; provided valuable help in the 2021 Bucks&rsquo; championship. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Starting five &ndash;  <\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anthony Black<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Isaiah Joe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mooses Moody<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bobby Portis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daniel Gafford<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

He won the MVP in 2022-23, made 7 All-Star appearances, 5 All-NBA teams and was a two-time scoring champ. He averages 27.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in his NBA career. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Starting five &ndash; <\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quentin Grimes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christian Braun <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andrew Wiggins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kelly Oubre Jr. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joel Embiid<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. USC &ndash; 11 players<\/h2><p>DeMar DeRozan is only 17 points shy of reaching the 25,000 points barrier in the regular season.

Michigan &ndash; 11 players<\/h2><p>The brother duo of Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner have turned out to be great prospects, especially Franz. However, Poole remains the unbeaten top-pick.
