re: Larry brown said that kentucky wouldnt just win in the nba....

Exactly. I mean, the 76ers have won 17 games this year. Think about the players they are playing:


Starters:

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute - 2nd round pick. 7 year pro. Not very good.

Nerlens Noel - 20 years old. 2nd year in the league, but basically a rookie. He was injured all of his true rookie year. 6th pick.

Ish Smith - Undrafted. 5 year pro. Always a 3rd stringer... has been on 8 NBA teams in his 5 years and even played in the D-League.

Jason Richardson - Old, had knee injures and just started playing games after having missed over 2 years with injuries.

JaKarr Sampson - Undrafted rookie from the D-League.



Two best bench players:


Robert Covington - Undrafted. D-Leaguer. 2nd year player.

Isaiah Canaan - 2nd round pick. 2nd year in league. Was a D-Leaguer his first year.






So I mean, the 76ers are playing rookies and second year players... and most of them are undrafted, 2nd rounders, etc. They're not even considered good rookies and 2nd year players except for Noel.




A lot of these Kentucky guys are all going to be 1st round draft picks. Some even high 1st round picks.

They can compete in the NBA over the course of an 82 game season and win some games for sure.
