One name missing from this list is Patrick Beverley, who spent seven seasons in the NBA. He's now playing professional basketball in Israel after stints with the Bucks, Lakers, Clippers, Timberwolves, Rockets, 76ers and Bulls since 2017.

There are just three games left in the NBA regular season, and nine of the 11 former Razorbacks are on teams vying for a spot in the playoffs. With the playoffs set to potentially run all the way through June 22, HawgBeat takes a look at each Pro Hogs' respective seasons...

Ricky Council IV went undrafted after he spent one year at Arkansas, where he came after spending two seasons at Wichita State. He's probably most known for his high-flying and ferocious dunks.

Gafford, an El Dorado native, played for the Razorbacks in former head coach Mike Anderson's last two seasons in Fayetteville. He was named to the SEC All-Defensive First Team and was named First Team All-SEC in 2019; He was just the second Razorback to be named to both in the same season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of — if not the — the hottest teams in the NBA this season, and Isaiah Joe is a main cog in their machine. He's averaging 9.9 points per game on 43.8% shooting from the field which includes a remarkable 41.1% from three.

Joe started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he spent two seasons, but the best of his career has been in Oklahoma City, where he's spent the last three seasons.

The Fort Smith native spent two seasons with the Razorbacks, the latter of which ended with the COVID-disrupted 2019-20 season. He ranks seventh on Arkansas' all-time list for three-pointers made and sixth in three-pointers attempted.

Bobby Portis has become a beloved figure for Milwaukee Bucks fans in recent years, and just made his return from a 25-game suspension, which he was given because he tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol, which violated the league's anti-drug program.

In his first game back, Portis dropped a double-double (18 points, 10 rebounds) and added a block and two steals in the Bucks' 110-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

As we mentioned above, the Thunder are one of the hottest teams in the NBA this season. Jaylin Williams is in his third season in Oklahoma City and has started 36 of the 49 games he's played in.

In his last 10 games, Williams has averaged 7.6 points, five rebounds and two assists, and in his last 11 he's notched two triple-doubles — 10 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds against the Portland Trailblazers on March 7 and 19 points, 11 assists and 17 rebounds against the 76ers on March 19.

Tough as nails and a constant presence for the Razorbacks in the one season he was at Arkansas, Anthony Black ran the point for Hogs' Sweet 16 run in 2023. He was a lottery pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, sixth overall to the Orlando Magic, and hit the ground running.

In two seasons in The Association, Black has played in 144 games and started 42 of those. This season, he's averaging 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game for a Magic team that is inching closer to a playoff spot.

Black has scored in double figures 32 times this season, with his highest scoring outburst being 23 points, which he did twice — against the Thunder on Dec. 19 and against the Washington Wizards on Feb. 23.

Walsh was one of three five-star recruits to join the Razorbacks for the 2022-23 season and opted to spend just one year in college before he turned pro.

The DeSoto, Texas, native was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 38th pick in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. He spent the majority of his first year in the league in the G-League, but he was on the roster that won the 2024 NBA Finals, albeit he only appeared in nine games.

Moses Moody was the first one-and-done for former head coach Eric Musselman in 2021 and was a lottery pick (14th overall) selection by the Golden State Warriors, where he still plays today, four years later.

Moody had to grind and work his way into the rotation for the Warriors, but he's been a regular on the court for Steve Kerr and his squad this season. In the 71 games he's appeared in, Moody has started 31 and is averaging 9.9 points per game on 43.8% shooting from the field.

Perhaps the biggest "what-if" in recent Arkansas history, Nick Smith Jr. came to Arkansas for one year that ended up being plagued by a lingering knee injury he sustained before the season started.

Prior to his college career, Smith had been mocked as a lottery pick, but after an up-and-down season at Arkansas was selected 27th overall by the Charlotte Hornets. He is now in his second year in the NBA and saw his minutes increase from 14.3 per game as a rookie to 22.7 this season.

This year, he's started 25 of the 58 games he's played in and is averaging 9.6 points per contest.

Arkansas career stats: 65 GP, 31.5 MIN, 17.6 PTS, 4.6 REB, 3.1 AST, 1.2 STL, 2.5 TO, 43.1% FG, 35.8% 3PT, 81.9% FT.

Mason Jones was an electric factory in an Arkansas uniform for the two years he spent in Fayetteville, but hasn't been used as much in the NBA. He went undrafted in 2020 and has played for four different NBA teams — the Houston Rockets, 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings. He also had stints in both Turkey and Mexico.

This season, he's averaging 2.3 points and 1.1 assists per game, and has only played in 10 games for the Kings at 4.5 minutes per game.

Arkansas career stats: 37 GP, 27.8 MIN, 11.9 PTS, 4.6 REB, 1.1 AST, 1.0 STL, 1.6 TO, 46.0% FG, 37.1% 3PT, 72.4% FT.

Stanley Umude started his career with the Detroit Pistons as an undrafted free agent after he spent one season in a Razorback uniform. While at Arkansas, he was a key piece in Musselman's second Elite Eight run, and averaged 11.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.

Umude signed a two-way contract with the Bucks ahead of this season and is averaging 0.6 points and 0.8 rebounds per game. He has appeared in 20 games this year and has played in 45 in his two-year NBA career.

Those stats are minimal, but he's made some noise in the G-League. On Feb. 28, he dropped 33 points with six three-pointers on 69% shooting from the field for the Wisconsin Herd. In the final game of the Herd's regular season, he dropped 31 points on 55% shooting.
