Indiana basketball is going to be featured in the NBA much more this season than it recently has with an expected seven former Hoosiers playing in the league.
Those players include NBA veterans Cody Zeller, Eric Gordon, Victor Oladipo, Thomas Bryant, OG Anunoby as well as incoming rookies Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis. All players come from three different eras of Indiana basketball with Eric Gordon having been in the league the longest out any former Hoosier coming into his 17th-year.
The rookies and OG Anunoby aside, Zeller, Gordon, Bryant and Oladipo will be playing on a new team than they did last season.
NBA’s media days and training camp got started earlier this week so this was a chance for fans to get a first look at what each former Indiana basketball standout looks like in their new jersey.
(Please note: Victor Oladipo is not featured due to him not attending Oklahoma City Thunder’s training camp)
