The 2015 NBA Draft is in the books, and it was a historic one for one Big Ten team.

In Frank Kaminsky (No. 9, Charlotte) and Sam Dekker (No. 18, Houston), Wisconsin had two first-round picks in the same draft for the first time in program history.
"This is a winning night for Wisconsin Basketball," Dekker said, according to this @BadgerMBB tweet.
Not only that, Kaminsky is the highest-drafted Badger since former point guard Devin Harris went 5 in 2004.
Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell went No. 2 to the Los Angeles Lakers, making him the Big Ten's second No. 2 pick in the last three years (Victor Oladipo, 2013) and the highest Ohio State selection since Evan Turner went No. 2 in 2010.
And, how about this stat?
D'Angelo Russell is 4th @OhioStateHoops player selected in Top 5 of #NBADraft since '07. Congrats @Dloading! #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/nAu0bkbaO7
