Re: which current player had highest gpa
Jacque Vaughn (former NBA player) had a very high GPA. 3.94 in high school and a 3.72 in Kansas (college)
Emeka Okafor had a 3.8 in college (UConn) and a 4.3 in high school.
He is actually tied with Thaddeus Young for high school GPA. T. Young also got a 4.3 in high school, no idea what his college GPA was though
Edit: Matt Bonner wins in college since he had a 3.96 GPA in Florida.

3.96 in HS, 3.5 in college
7. Shane Battier, F, Houston Rockets
• Age: 32
• On-court accomplishments: 2-time Naismith award winner (high school and college), 2001 No. 6 overall NBA draft pick, 2-time All-NBA defensive second team

• Languages: “English and German.”
• Off-court/intellectual interests: “Finance, sabermetrics, golf.”
• If I weren’t a professional athlete, I’d ... “Be working with youth in some capacity. Similar to the mission of my foundation, I would want to encourage and inspire a new generation of potential leaders through higher education and effective leadership skills.”
• Nerdiest thing about me: “I have a subscription to Laptop magazine.”
• Smartest teammate I’ve had: “Brent Barry.”

In it, Wetzel tells a story from Battier’s senior year in high school, in which many top programs were recruiting him,
Battier narrowed his choices to six schools — Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, Michigan and Michigan State — and told everyone else, politely, to leave him be.
He then set out to minimize the degree to which the chosen schools could interfere with his studies; [COLOR="Red"]he had a 3.96 G.P.A.[/COLOR] and was poised to claim Detroit Country Day School’s headmaster’s cup for best all-around student.
He granted each head coach a weekly 15-minute window in which to phone him. These men happened to be among the most famous basketball coaches in the world and the most persistent recruiters, but Battier granted no exceptions.
When the Kentucky coach Rick Pitino, who had just won a national championship, tried to call Battier outside his assigned time, Battier simply removed Kentucky from his list. “What 17-year-old has the stones to do that?” Wetzel asks.
“To just cut off Rick Pitino because he calls outside his window?” Wetzel answers his own question: “It wasn’t like, ‘This is a really interesting 17-year-old.’ It was like, ‘This isn’t real.’ ”
Shane Battier for President

Ya'll are all foolish....it's obviously without question Jeremy Lin. He had a 3.1 at Harvard, but wasn't taking bs classes. He got into Harvard on pure brains, as they don't offer athletic scholarships. He obviously a pretty smart dude, plus he's Asian.

Re: which current player had highest gpa
Really depends on the major.. Math/Physics/Chemistry/Biology require a lot more time and work than most other majors.
