Texas’ top 10 highest-drafted NBA players of all time

2. Cade Cunningham, No. 1

The most recent draft selection on the list, the 2021 first overall pick entered the NBA as one of the most sure-fire bets in recent years to make an early impact on the league. So far through two seasons, the Detroit Pistons point guard has averaged 17.8 points per game in limited time after an injury during his second year limited him to just 12 total games. Cunningham is yet to play 82 games so far in his career but has been a key contributor during his time on the court.
