I realize you could do this for several teams in college basketball and most of those players don't come if Randle/Davis/Young/Gilchrist are still there, but this roster would be stacked.

Davis/Gilchrist would be seniors. They would win every game by 50



C — Anthony Davis
F — Julius Randle/Nerlens Noel
F — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
G — James Young
G — Aaron Harrison

Bench
Karl Anthony Towns
Nerlens Noel
Willie Cauley-Stein
Andrew Harrison
Archie Goodwin
Trey Lyles
Devin Booker

Imagine trotting out Platoon B of

Cauley-Stein
Towns
Noel
Goodwin
Harrsion

The possibilities could be endless. Even pairing AD/Cauley-Stein/Towns together and having AD play some 3

The upset wouldn't be a if UK lost, because they wouldn't. It would be if the other team could stay within 30 points.

It wouldn't even be the starting 5...it'd be the bench

Just imagine playing against them at like 15 minute mark and out comes

Cauley-Stein/Towns/Noel
Lyles
Goodwin
Booker
Harrison

And that's not even including Marquis Teague or Alex Poythress (torn ACL)

No point to have a season or tournament.

That team would not lose a game, I don't give a shite about the possibility of upsets.

That team is not losing.

That could be a playoff team in the East for sure.

For shits and giggles they could go 7-0/6-11/6-10/6-9/6-6 with

Cauley-Stein
Towns
Davis
Randle
Harrison

Just play a zone and They would out rebound every team by 20+ and block 10+ shots a game

I was really impressed with Booker last night. Dude is a really smooth player.

And Ulis is fast as shite...my buddy thinks he might even be the best guard they have.

at some point in the 90s, North Carolina could have potentially had rasheed wallace, jerry stackhouse, vince carter and antwan jamison on one team.

You could do this with other teams too. Kansas's current squad with Ben McLemore, Andrew Wiggins, and Joel Embiid would be fun to watch.

Booker reminds me of Klay Thompson, and not just because they look alike. Similar playing style and size. Smooth as butter

He really is. His shot, his handle, passing, everything is just smooth and in rhythm. And he shoots a confident ball. I came away from the game last night a fan of his a little.

A couple of years ago you could have had John Wall, Cousins, Davis Kidd-Gilchrist (and maybe Nerlens) all on the same team.

all those guys would be eligible next year too

oh and by the way, this idea doesnt make sense and is just not even worth considering IMO.

Though not nearly as good as Kentucky, and a matter if they could stay healthy, but Michigan could have a pretty good starting five on paper:

C - Mitch McGary
F - Glenn Robinson III
G - Caris LeVert
G - Nik Stauskas
G - Trey Burke

I know this is was meant just for fun so my reply might be too serious here but my first thought was

"if AD&Co. had stayed, could you guarantee UK gets the same recruits?"

Not that UK wouldn't have continued to recruit at an extremely high level, but I can't imagine some of those guys wanting to ride the bench.
