How many of these All-Conference players from smaller programs work out?

Very few are ever drafted in the top 30 to begin with. Only Jalen Williams at Santa Clara and Baldwin from a small college in Milwaukee fit that bill this year. But your question still stands as "how many actually work out"? I'm assuming you mean how many players from small programs have reasonably long NBA careers? I can't answer that, but I think it's less with each passing year. 

I think there's a new option will small-time players joining the G-league now, but I still think college pedigree is the strongest training ground for successful NBA careers..
