Cincinnati, Delaware, Georgtown, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, and Pepperdine each have had a pair of players drafted last overall.
Serbia, as a country, has had 3 players selected last overall.
Michigan State (3) has the most players who have played in the NBA that were the latest player selected to play in the NBA. California, Georgia Tech, Michigan, and Pepperdine each have 2.
The Celtics have had the last pick 8 times, the most of anyone. However, only Semih Erden has ever played in the NBA.
Dan Trant was the last pick of the 1984 draft class, the class regarded by many as the best in NBA history. Trant never played a game for the Celtics, but became a hero during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Tragically, Trant would parish in the attack on the World Trade Center.
16 of the higest drafted players have played 5+ seasons in the NBA. Only 4 of the last picks have played 5+ seasons.
Only 15 players drafted last overall have played in the NBA.
5 of the highest drafted players have gone on to become all-stars. 1 will be a hall-of-famer when his career ends.
Isaiah Thomas is the only final pick of any draft to appear in an all-star game.
