Couldn't find a good thread to put this. If there is one, my apologies.
Noticed that David Duke, ex PC star, has been starting for the Nets the past few games and Justin Champagnie appears to have played himself into the Raptors bench rotation.
 
Former Nova standout Jalen Brunson has developed into a really solid NBA player. Now in his 4th year, Brunson is a starter for the Mavericks averaging 16 ppg, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 turnovers. Both he and Malik Bridges with very nice NBA careers and DiVincenzo back in the rotation with the Bucks after being out almost a year with an injury. Erich Paschall is a bench player with the Jazz after two decent years with the Warriors. Only Omari Spellman isn't still in the NBA from that last Nova championship team.   
 
Nova always seems to recruit 1 or 2 guys nearly every year that over the course of their College Careers wind up in the NBA .  That last champion ship year being a example, where Multiple players were drafted .                  The Cats and Gonzaga have carved out a Program that year in and year out has been successful . Jay Wright and Mark Few , 2 future HOF inductees , have been doing it for 20 plus years now .

Here is a site that shows current NBA players by school, and it's easy to scroll through each Big East school here. Sadly, our lone NBA representative currently is Moe Harkless.

Justin Champagnie with 14 points in 13 minutes in Raptors blowout win last night. He's not part of rotation but seems to make the most of any minutes he gets
 
Former Big East rivals Max Strus & Omar Yurtseven both started for a very good Heat team in a beatdown of the Suns last night. Strus had 14 points and Yurtseven with 16 rebounds and 8 assists.
 
Just noticed that former Knick & CMA player at Arkansas Bobby Portis is having his best season yet, starting for the Bucks and averaging 15 ppg and 9 rebounds. I was sorry to see him leave the Knicks.
 
Queens own>Christ The King > Ga Tech, Jose Alvarado at MSG vs. Knicks scores 13 pts, 4 steals, 4 reb

Don't think Mullin pushed hard for him as we had Ponds/Lovett already and of course Federico & Ellison....lol

Interestingly, Alvarado now has 18 games played in NBA. Good for him.
