No Gopher in NBA

Pardon if there's another thread on this.

When is the last time that there were NO former Gophers in the NBA?

Unfortunately, I think it's 1961/1962 after Dick Garmaker and Ron Johnson and before Lou Hudson and Archie Clark... 55 years of representation.

If Humphries wouldn't have announced his retirement, he was 1 year away from tying Kevin McHale as the most NBA tenured ex-Gopher of all time.

Better question might be: when will be the next time the Gophers have representation in the NBA?

Isnt JB now Coaching the Grizzlies? That's representation in my book.

I suppose you want to include Pete and Lynch also?

Next year, when Reggie Lynch makes his first appearance up from the G League. I expect him to have a nice NBA career as a defensive role player.
