John Calipari: Calipari is extremely heralded for being able to send players to the NBA. Calipari had three guys drafted while at UMass.

While at Memphis he got nine players drafted, and while at Kentucky, an incredible 27 players drafted.

His total is at 39 players over all his years, which is solid for being at UMass, and Memphis for a lot of those years. Calipari’s best NBA player, while up for discussion, is probably Anthony Davis, who has been a young catalyst for the New Orleans Pelicans so far.

Advantage: Based off recent success, Calipari has the edge in this category. He is most likely to get even more players drafted this season. Whether you like his one and done style or not, there is no denying his ability to produce NBA talent.
