Kentucky has 21 players playing in the NBA and those 21 players combine for the highest payroll for alumni from one university in the NBA.
1. Kentucky: $US77,324,323 — 21 players
The program that everyone loves to hate, led by the coach that everyone loves to hate, actually produces the most NBA players. But it’s not just the Coach Cal era — four of the top six paid former Wildcats — Rajon Rondo, Tayshaun Prince, Chuck Hayes and Keith Bogans — played well before he came to town. Even when those contracts expire, UK has another crop of rising stars. John Wall, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will all make substantially more money in a few years than they do now. It’s entirely possible that Kentucky retains this spot for the next three, four, maybe even five years.
