People forget that Larry Bird was not alone on that team -- Carl Nicks had NBA talent -- and played 3 seasons in the NBA
Bird & Nicks are the only two Indiana State players to have stepped on an NBA court at any time in the last 50+ years.
BTW -- Bradley has had at least 38 different players get drafted in the NBA Draft..and it's actually more because some, like Granger, don't count on BU's total in this tally.
That is BY FAR the most of any team currently in the Missouri Valley.

Care to guess which current Valley team has had the 2nd MOST players drafted???
Might be hard to believe - but it's Drake with 28...with 12 of them playing in NBA games...
