I saw the other day that the MAC hasn't had a player drafted since 2003, when CMU's Chris Kaman went at #6 overall. The conference that once produced Wally Szcezerbiak, Gary Trent, Bonzi Wells, Ron Harper, Dan Majerle, etc. and sent teams to the Sweet 16 with some regularity has sunk to near irrelevance in hoops. Anyway, got me thinking: who has been drafted from the Horizon?
