There are many sons of NBA players currently in college basketball. Gary Payton Jr., Sam Cassell Jr., and Jalen Bruson are some of the better-known second generation basketball players. However, it’s not only point guards who inherit the talent. Domantas Sabonis is the son of Arvydas Sabonis, but could navigate a much different pro path—playing NBA ball in his prime (Arvydas played overseas for a decade before joining the Blazers).
Elgin Cook’s father, Alvin Robertson, played in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs. Cook is now one of the leaders of a nationally ranked Oregon Ducks team. See a list of more second generation NCAA players below.
