Big 12 NBA Draft History: With the 47th Overall Pick...

Best Big 12 Player Drafted #47: Bill Walker, Kansas St. Wildcats, by the Washington Wizards in 2008.
The choice here was difficult as you could argue neither #47 met their hyped up expectations. Walker wins though based on an NBA career.

Other Notable Big 12 Players Drafted 47th: Tiny Gallon, Oklahoma Sooners, by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2010.

Best Non-Big 12 Player Drafted 47th: Mo Williams, Alabama Crimson Tide, by the Utah Jazz in 2003.
Lots of people claim Mo Williams to be overhyped, mainly because for two years he had a guy named LeBron James on his team. That may be true, but Williams was averaging over 17 points a game the year before he joined Cleveland. And while his points per game dropped after LeBron took his talents to South Beach, his assists per game this season were a career high 6.6.

In preparation for the 2011 NBA Draft, each day until June 23 we'll count down the best Big 12 player drafted with each pick.
