Friend of mine and I have been debating for a while.
He says wake forest because of balance(duncan teague paul) but I say Texas easily (durant aldridge).
But what other teams would be good?
UCLA would be right up there Westbrook Collison Holliday Love
All of the top college programs would have good teams but Texas and Wake obviously have the superstars. Funny how most of the superstars seem to have been high school, international, or midmajor players. 4/26/2014 7:59:14 PM |

yeah, his shooting would be essential
also didn't include fucking Rondo, or Marquis Teague, or Doron Lamb, or Patrick Patterson, or Chuck Hayes, or Keith Bogans (who is technically still in the NBA), or Nazr Mohammed [or Deandre Liggins, or Josh Harrelson] 4/27/2014 1:08:30 AM |

that's partially because Tubby Smith didn't start Rondo (in his defense, Ramel Bradley was a better shooter and had a lot of moxie) and then Billy Gillespie came in and bitterly shit over every parcel of land in Lexington 4/27/2014 1:14:59 AM |

Why the fuck would any great NBA UK team include bums like Marquise Teague and Doron Lamb? And if you include that dreg you need to start mentioning more impactful players for schools like Duke such as the Plumlees.
And for posterity even though many have fallen off as they age
Kemba Gordon Rip Allen Drummond Villanueva (yuck now) Gay
Etc...

I wouldn't, which is why I didn't. I simply mentioned them, along with a handful of other guys, after listing off a legit UK alum NBA team, to point out how filled the Association is with former Wildcats.
and neither M Teague or Doron Lamb are bums. maybe they won't ever make a significant impact in the NBA, but at the moment both are super young guys (Teague could be entering his senior year and Lamb is just a year ahead of him) whose early careers have been spent on difficult teams with limited opportunities to develop their game and find their niche. for the non-All Pro, the biggest non-effort, non-ability factor for career success is the situation you're placed in. most players need the right coach, system, teammates to excel.

Jordan Worthy Bob McAdoo Billy Cunningham Antawn Jamison Bench: Carter, Sam Perkins, Walter Jones, Bobby Jones, Charlie Scott, Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse

I could have been less of a dick but my point stands. None of those guys are worth mentioning.

they were worth mentioning because my intention was to jerkoff over the abundance of Kentucky players on NBA rosters [i mentioned Josh Harrellson for christ sake]
of course, that's obnoxious bullshit so i get your response
