Delete as a non-notable list under WP:LISTN and WP:GNG. No Akron player has been selected in the NBA Draft in more than 30 years. In the 70-plus-year history of the NBA Draft, only five Akron players have been selected, and only one of those (Bill Turner) saw significant playing time in the NBA. These facts may warrant a brief mention in Akron Zips men's basketball, but they are not sufficient to warrant a stand-alone list. Cbl62 (talk) 11:34, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
