Starting in 1976 with Leon Douglas to this past June with Brandon Miller and Noah Clowney, the @AlabamaMB program has had 19 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. Miller and Antonio McDyess were the highest picks at No. 2, while Douglas went No. 4 to the Detroit Pistons. Four times the Crimson Tide had two first-round picks in the same draft: 1987 - Derrick McKey (9), Jim Farmer (20); 1992 - Robert Horry (11), Latrell Sprewell (24); 1995 - McDyess (2), Jason Caffey (20); 2023 - Miller (2), Clowney (21). The other first-round picks were Joshua Primo (12), Kira Lewis (13), Collin Sexton (8), Gerald Wallace (25), Roy Rogers (22), James “Hollywood” Robinson (21), Buck Johnson (20), Ennis Whatley (13), Eddie Phillips (21) and Reggie King (18). So Alabama’s 19 first-round NBA Draft picks are here to remind you the 2023-24 basketball season tips off in 19 days.

Top 60 forward Hudson Greer breaks down his recruitment


Hudson Greer, the No. 58 overall prospect in the class of 2025 is starting to narrow down his options. The 6-foot-6 forward from Lake Travis (Texas) is currently being prioritized by Iowa, Creighton, UCLA, Texas, Arizona, Alabama and LSU. Greer also received an offer from Arkansas last week.

“Right now the recruitment process is going well but I’m finally starting to cut my list down,” Greer said. “I’m just now seeing who’s my favorites. I’m starting to go on these officials and unofficials when I can like I was supposed to do with Iowa. Now I have one official lined up with Creighton the weekend of December 8th.

Outside of Greer’s official to Creighton, he took an unofficial to Arizona two weeks ago and will visit UCLA unofficially this Saturday.

Greer broke down of the programs pushing hard for him with 247Sports.

Arizona: “Coming into that visit I definitely knew everything about the basketball side of things but being there I got to see how they are off the court. I saw how those guys interact and it was a great vibe.”

Creighton: “I can’t wait to see how those guys workout. From watching their film and talking to the coach it’s cool to see how many shots they get up per game. Every year they lead the nation in shots attempted and usually shot makes.”

UCLA: “I’m from California so I know what I’m going to get geographically. Coming into this visit I’m looking to see what their practice looks like. I hear Mick Cronin is a tough coach and that’s what I want in a head coach.”

As Greer continues to take his visits he knows what he will be paying attention to.

“I’m looking at how the guys interact on and off the court,” he said. “That’s why I take these visits. Of course you’re going to know what you’re getting on the court based off what you see on TV but I want to see what happens off the court.”

Greer also has a timetable on when to expect a list cut or a final decision.

“I would say a list cut would come at the end of my junior season of high school,” he said. “If I feel like I have something good going I would commit this summer or early next year.”
