Kentucky's Patrick Patterson and Cincinnati's Lance Stephenson have a chance to put their respective high schools in elite company tonight at the NBA Draft in New York.
Barring a draft-night surprise, both are expected to be selected in the first round. Should that transpire, Patterson and Stephenson will give Huntington (Huntington, W.Va.) and Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.), respectively, multiple first-round draft picks since 2004.
In the 10 drafts prior to the 2010 edition, 22 high schools produced two or more top 30 selections.

Both hopefuls will follow prominent players from their high school into the NBA.
Patterson played with current Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo for a year at Huntington, winning a state title. Mayo beat Patterson to the NBA after spending just a year at USC.
Stephenson replaced Sebastian Telfair as the next big thing at a school that also claims Stephon Marbury. While they didn't play together at the Brooklyn powerhouse, Stephenson also replaced Telfair as the Empire State's all-time leading scorer.
Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) is the leader when it comes to high schools churning out first-round talent en masse. While most of Oak Hill's student-athletes start their careers elsewhere, seven top 30 picks coming through the program since 2001 is an impressive run no matter how it's viewed.
Carmelo Anthony (2003 draftee), Michael Beasley (2008), Brandon Jennings (2009) and Rajon Rondo are a few of head coach Steve Smith's recent pupils at the Virginia school.
The only other schools with more than two first-round picks from 2000 to 2009 are Dominguez (Compton, Calif.) and Rainier Beach (Seattle, Wash.).
Dominguez and Oak Hill Academy have Jennings in common as the current Bucks point guard left the former for the latter prior to his junior season.
Tayshaun Prince and Tyson Chandler also called Dominguez home during their high school days.

Rainier Beach might be the most unlikely pipeline to the pros. A public school in south Seattle with just 524 students, first-rounders Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Terrence Williams all wore the Vikings' blue and orange.
Dominguez and Rainier Beach faced each other at the 2009 King Holiday Hoopfest in Seattle, with the California school winning a classic, 90-84.
