I think Wisxonsin wins this in the end, but damn is there a talent gap in this game. Athletically only Kentuckt and Arizona can top UNC IMO.

Measurable, athletic talent? Yea, there's a gap.

Wisconsin is more skilled, disciplined and I like their system, but there's inarguably a gap in athleticism.

Well, that's not what you said.

Wisconsin has 2 definite NBA players. As many as 4 NBA players. They certainly have a lot of talent.

North Carolina is certainly more athletic. Though, Wisconsin has some very good athletes as well. Dekker is a Chandler Parsons clone.

Dekker is more athletic. Don't think he's as good though/will be as good.

Both 6'9. Both Listed between 220-230 pounds. Both very athletic white guys.

Parsons has more of an outside shot/game. Dekker's 3-point shot has become less effective as Wisconsin has made him more of an inside focus in their offense. In the pros, he'll likely move back to more of a wing player.

I don't think he'll be quite as good either.

Was meaning it in terms of raw athleticism/talent, thought it was fairly obvious.

And no, Wisconsin doesn't have 4 NBA players on their roster. Some of yal don't understand how difficult it is to make an NBA roster.

they have at least three players who will be drafted at some point.

Kaminsky
Dekker
Hayes

Whether they pan out remains to be seen

I knew what you meant. Just think it's funny when people dismiss this Wisconsin team as "not athletic" or "untalented" simply because they are majority white.

Not saying you are doing that. As obviously, North Carolina is one of the most athletic teams in the tournament. Just stating that I do not believe there is that big of a talent gap in this game.

I fully understand. They have an absolute max of 4 guys who could play in the league. 2 locks. I'd say a very good chance at 3. All of their front court.
