South Carolina basketball alumni are competing professionally across the globe.

The South Carolina basketball program is in the midst of its most successful run since the days when Frank McGuire roamed the Gamecock sidelines. The team has finished in the top half of the SEC four of the last five seasons. They’ve made two postseason appearances since 2016, including a run to the Final Four, and had it not been for the Coronavirus pandemic, Frank Martin’s group would’ve made a third appearance in 2019.

The success of the program is due much in part to the players that have come through Columbia. There are currently four former Gamecocks in the NBA, and a slew of others playing overseas. Here’s an update of each alum, and a glimpse into their careers after college.
