Against all odds, Santa Clara had their first player drafted since Steve Nash was drafted #15 overall in 1996.  The Oklahoma City Thunder drafted Jalen Williams with the 12th selection in the first round after a strong junior year (18.4 ppg) and a strong combine (he was top five in three of the eight combine measurements, and five of the eight for guards). He was the second highest SCU draft pick in the history of the NBA draft after the immortal Dick O'Keefe (9th overall selection in 1947 -- technically the BAA draft, not the NBA Draft)

Interesting trivia: Oklahoma's second round draft pick, #34 overall was Jaylin Williams of Arkansas. Two draftees, same draft, same names (almost).
