Good question: I'll list them sort of chronologically as best I can off the top of my head
Pre-championships
Willie Naulls
(there were a few other players who had NBA career and played for Wooden during the 1950s, but I don't remember their names)
From first couple of NCAA championship teams
Gail Goodrich
Keith Erickson
Walt Hazzard (later known as Mahdi Abdul-Rahman)
Alcindor Era:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor)
Edgar Lacey (defensive specialist, teammate of Kareem)
Lucius Allen
Mike Lynn
Lynn Shackelford
Ken Heitz
Between Alcindor and Walton:
Steve Patterson (played center post-Alcindor, pre-Walton)
Sidney Wicks
Curtis Rowe
Walton era:
Bill Walton
Henry Bibby
Keith Wilkes (later knows as Jamaal Wilkes)
Swen Nater (Walton's backup, had a good NBA career)
Greg Lee (Walton had nothing but praise for this guy)
David Meyers (brother of Hall of Famer Ann Meyers, who was an all-time great in women's basketball. Ann later married Don Drysdale)
Wooden's final championship team:
Richard Washington
Ralph Drollinger
Pete Trgovich (I think that's how he spelled it)
Andre McCarter
Marques Johnson
I think that all of these guys had at least some kind of an NBA "career", a few didn't last long, but most of them did have decent pro careers.
Henry Bibby became the 2nd player in NBA history to win an NCAA championship one year (1972) and an NBA championship in the following season (1973, with the Knicks). Bill Russell was the first, of course... since then, I think only Magic Johnson (Michigan State '79 Lakers '80) and Billy Thompson (Louisville 1986 Lakers 1987) have done that.
Henry Bibby is the father of Mike Bibby. Bill Walton is, of course, the father of Luke Walton.
Source(s): btw, if you want to see a list of every player who ever played in the NBA who's from a particular college, you can do that at basketball-reference.com. Prob the best way to do that would be to go to any player who played for the college in question, and on that player's page, click on their college... that should take you to a page showing every player who played for that school who also played in the NBA. If anyone's curious about how many pros a particular school produced, that's probably the easiest way to find out. I did not do that to answer this question, but I've read enough books about Jabbar, Walton and Wooden to know who played there, plus I've been following college ball since Alcindor's career. - Bob TLv 61 decade ago
Walton, Alcindor (aka Kareem), Keith Wilkes, Gail Goodrich, Keith Erickson, Walt Hazzard, Swen Nater, Larry Farmer, hmmm, that is all I can think of without looking up more names in some books about Coach Wooden that I have on the shelf.

Parker Brothers did not invent the Ouija Board. It had already been around for awhile when it was bought by Parker Brothers in 1966 and turned into a commercial success as a board game. Its beginnings lie in the distant past when an earlier version (a tripod device) was used in the ancient ways of Babylon and Greece to contact departed spirits. The tripod became the pointer now used with the Board, which is printed with the alphabet, the numbers 1-9, a 0 (zero), and the words 'Goodbye', 'Yes', and 'No'. There are other boards like this with different names, but with the same history and purpose. The modern version of this game was developed by a man named Planchette, a spiritualist (someone who contacts the dead as part of their religion). The Board was further transformed around the turn of the century under the direction and ownership of two men, Elijah J. Bond and William Fuld. Fuld's name can be seen on the Ouija Board today. The name Ouija is a combination of the French and German words for 'yes': Oui and Ja. According to Bond and Fuld, the Board suggested its own name. The primary purpose of the board is and always has been to contact disembodied spirits. Contacting the dead is called necromancy, and contacting spirits is spiritism, both strongly condemned by God (Deut. 18:9-12; Lev. 19:31, 20:6; I Sam 28, II Kings 21:6; Is. 8:19, 19:3-4). The Board's translated name, 'yes, yes', is an ingenious and subtle way to invite spirit contact. Dead people cannot hang around after death; you cannot communicate with a dead person. The practices and techniques of contacting the dead and contacting spirits are used widely in the occult. Although the pointer is often moved intentionally or subconsciously by the players, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when using the Board. By 'playing' this 'game', you are showing an interest in spirit contact. If contact is made, it is demons (evil spirits, fallen angels), not the dead, who are responding. If Satan can disguise himself as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), then it is not improbable that fallen angels can disguise themselves as the dead. The Ouija Board is not harmless just because it is marketed as a game. Satan, the master of deception and seduction, is good at twisting the truth into lies (Gen. 3:1-6; Jn. 8:44). Satan likes disguises and his lies are often disguised as games. The next time you are tempted to play the Ouija Board as a game, look beyond its disguise and see it for what it really is. Think about this: Just what or who are you trying to contact? God tells us to seek Him instead of the dead (Is. 8:19), and Christ "lives forever to plead with God" on behalf of those who believe Him (Heb. 7:25). Who wants the Ouija Board when you can know the One Who has "complete authority in heaven and on earth!" (Matt.28:18). If you are wondering about Christ, think on His words in John 5:23-24, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father , who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
