It's no surprise that the ACC continues to produce NBA talent, year in and year out. In the 2026 NBA Draft, twelve players from nine different schools got drafted, with four being first-round selections. Duke's Cameron Boozer was the first selection from the ACC, and third overall when the Memphis Grizzlies chose to make him their pick. For the first time since 2019, the ACC had 3 players taken in the first 6 picks as Caleb Wilson became the latest UNC star to get drafted by the Chicago Bulls and Mikel Brown Jr. became the highest Louisville player drafted since Felton Spencer in 1990. The fourth freshman from the ACC to go off the board was Stanford's Ebuka Okorie, who went No. 17 overall. Take a look at some of the other ACC milestones that were achieved in the 2026 NBA Draft as we look at the draft by the numbers.
