Philadelphia High School Basketball
City Leagues Products Drafted by NBA Teams, 1947-
Philadelphia
Teams: Warriors, 1947-62; no team in '63; 76ers, 1964-present.
(Public/Catholic/Inter-Ac)
The list below includes Public League,
Catholic League and Inter-Ac League players drafted by NBA teams since the
spring of 1947.
I am unsure on the high schools for some players from the early years, so
please speak up if you know of someone I missed.
tedtee307@yahoo.com.
Also, there is conflicting info on
rounds/selection numbers for some of the early years. The notation "Terr." means
the player was a territorial draftee. Those players with asterisks next to their
name transferred out of the listed school before exhausting their eligibility.
(Also out of the three city leagues.) A few players were selected multiple
times.
Thanks for the help: Paul Melody.
