Providence hasn’t had two players drafted in the same year since Austin Croshere went 12th overall (First Round) to the Indiana Pacers and God Shammgod went 45th overall (Second Round) to the Washington Wizards in the 1997 NBA Draft. The Friars have never had two players selected in the First Round of the NBA Draft. The 2016 NBA Draft will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and both Dunn and Ed Cooley are expected to be in attendance. There is no word yet on whether Bentil will attend the draft in Brooklyn.
