The Arizona Wildcats have seen their players transition successfully to the NBA, particularly under coach Tommy Lloyd. In the 2022 NBA Draft, Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry were first-round picks, while Christian Koloko was selected in the second round.

Koloko faced health challenges due to blood clots but has been cleared to play again. He has signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, allowing him to develop with their G League team. He could potentially secure a traditional NBA contract like Austin Reaves did.
