'82 heels had MJ, Worthy and Perkins. They would skull drag all these crappy teams listed so far. The '82 Hoyas team had Ewing and Floyd. Everyone in this thread has to be young.

ETA: Get off of my lawn.

4 first rounders, 3 in first 12 picks, and a 2nd rounder

So what are we judging? College teams or nba teams? I never like these discussions because players get built up or torn down based on their professional careers.

Like Marvin Williams didn't even start and was only pretty good (a worthy member of that team no doubt and in fact him coming off the bench might actually help that teams argument) in college and we have him listed as a starting power forward and #2 overall draft pick.

I just don't think any of that should matter. The 2010 Kentucky team, for example, is magically getting better and better every year.

The answer, I think, is both. The OP has where they were drafted and he is comparing title teams. The teams I have suggested were great college teams that contained great NBA players. Admittedly, his list of teams is really weird. Other than '06 FLA, and to some extent the '01 Duke team, I'm confused about the others.

I agree with some who say Kentucky's starting 5 is nothing to freak out about historically. I also think we're discounting how much WVU sucked at times tbis year, and had some freshman whip this Kentucky team into a frenzy.

What makes Kentucky dominant is the depth, not the starting five.

Do you even Shaq, bro?

Clearly referring to the 11-12 team.
