The 2016 NBA Draft saw 12 players from local conferences gets selected, starting with Kris Dunn as the fifth pick and ending with Horizon League product Kay Felder late in the second round.
Here’s where all 12 players wound up:

—Kris Dunn (Providence) was selected with the fifth pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dunn will get to team up with a loaded young core that includes the past two Rookie of the Year winners Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
—Henry Ellenson (Marquette) missed out on the lottery and went 18th overall to the Detroit Pistons. Ellenson figures to be a rotation piece for the Pistons as a rookie.
—Isaiah Whitehead (Seton Hall) is returning to Brooklyn after playing his college ball in New Jersey. The Lincoln High School graduate was drafted in the second round by the Nets with the 42nd pick.
—Ben Bentil (Providence) was the fifth of the Boston Celtics’ six picks, getting selected 51st overall. As a mobile big man who can shoot it from deep, Bentil has a lot of upside as a late second round pick.
—Ryan Arcidiacono (Villanova) went undrafted and signed a partially guaranteed deal with the Spurs on Friday, according to multiple reports.
—Jalen Reynolds (Xavier) went undrafted.
Big Ten
—After considering trading star guard Jimmy Butler to get a higher pick, the Chicago Bulls stayed with the 14th pick and drafted Denzel Valentine (Michigan State).
