Yes Klay Thompson (son of Mychal Thompson former #1 NBA draft pick) played at WSU for 3 years. The Cougs did not make the NCAA's when Klay was there. They made the round of 32 in 06-07 and the Sweet 16 in 07-08, before Klay joined the team. They did make the NIT in Klay's freshman and junior (his last) year.

Those were golden years of Coug BB, as legend Dick Bennett came out of retirement and built the team for 3 years, then handed the reins to his son Tony, who bailed to Virginia after the afore-mentioned NCAA trips and the NIT in his last year.

Another WSU NBA player that bears mentioning was Aron Baynes from Australia, who did pretty well in the NBA although he shuffled around a lot. He was a beast. Baynes was there for the NCAA runs and his senior year was Klay's frosh year.

Story is U$C could have had Klay, but number 1 high schooler in the nation, OJ Mayo, committed to them. OJ only played in college one year and had a disappointing pro career.

OJ did raise Usc recruiting profile.
