From 2010-2015:

Currently on NBA roster (3): Marcus Smart, Austin Rivers, and Kyrie Irving
Currently playing overseas (2): Malik Newman and Andrew Harrison
Won NBA Championship (1): Kyrie Irving
Made an All-Star game (1): Kyrie Irving 7x
Out of the top point guard prospects from 2010-2015, only three are currently on NBA rosters. The post-college success was average, considering players like Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart are stars in the league today, and 3/6 aren’t playing in the NBA anymore. 2/6 of the prospects played at Duke, and Emmanuel Mudiay is the only player not to go to college in this list.
