The first Big Ten player off the board, as expected, was Ohio State guard D'Angelo Russell, who went No. 2 to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky (No. 9, Charlotte) and Sam Dekker (No. 18, Houston) followed to give the Big Ten three first-round picks and to mark the first time the Badgers had two players go in the first round in program history.
See all five of the Big Ten selections below:
