The Utah Utes, BYU Cougars, Utah State Aggies and Weber State Wildcats have all produced their fair share of talented NBA players. Even Utah Valley University, Snow College, Dixie State, Salt Lake Community College, College of Eastern Utah and Westminster College have had players make it to the association.

While every college programs in the state have had players make it to the NBA, not all have them have had a significant impact. In fact, most didn’t stay in the league for very long before finishing their careers or heading to play basketball overseas.
