From Wikipedia
George Mason has sent 3 players to the NBA since 1979. Those being Rob Rose, Ricky Wilson, and Jason Miskiri.

1) Does anyone have or know of a more complete list?
2) Including those players who have transferred out? Luke Hancock and hopefully Jordan Miller and ??
3) Prior to 1979?

Neither was Miskiri.

Seems like only Gaddy, Wilson, and now Miller were drafted.

Think Oduro has an outside shot but he’s got a lot to prove this upcoming season in the Big East. If he shows out that’s what a 2nd round pick is for.

Also worth noting that Carlos Yates was drafted #4 overall by the CBA's Florida Suncoast Stingers in 1985.

Ironically, he'll need to show that he has an outside shot, because he'll get destroyed in the paint otherwise.

Hopefully Tony Skinn can add more to this list

I remember when Andre came on board. I thought it was so cool that we got a recruit from Brooklyn. Pretty much everybody else seemed to be from 5 miles away.

Agree. I love JO but unless he improves his athleticism and outside shot drastically, he has about a 0% chance of making it to the league. JO is an outstanding college player but is significantly lacking in some of the areas it takes to make it to the next level. He will however make a ton of money overseas

I agree. He is not an NBA player, unless he improves his shooting and ball handling. But you never know. I wish him all the best.

Does Tyler Kolek have any chance at the NBA?

Don’t see it … he’s a shorter Drew Timme, excellent college player whose physical gifts do not translate to the NBA.

Jordan Miller . . . Once a redshirted member of the roster goes on to be the only former Mason player to be drafted in current format of two rounds.

Was he the last Mason player to at least start the season on a redshirt? I can't think of anyone since, but I could be wrong.

Technically Justyn Fernandez redshirted after joining the roster in January 2022.

But to start the season? You may be correct.

Andre was a beast. I remember walking into a game and some guy went up and tried to dunk, Andre just swatted it away. The ball came right to me and as I threw it back Andre said to the opponent, "Get that weak shit out of here." Dikembe before there was a Dikembe. Gaddy and Myron Contee remain two of my favorite Mason players.

The first time I ever recall seeing Mason on TV was when we played Virginia with Andre vs Ralph Sampson. Oh how times have changed. Great memories.
