Yep. People get too caught up in "college vs. NBA" instead of looking at the individual players without a label.
These Kentucky guys are as good as any rookies in the NBA. Many rookies in the NBA are clearly better than a lot of veterans in the league.
There is no doubt that the Kentucky players are better than a lot of players currently in the NBA.
Rookies don't come in at the bottom of the totem pole as far as their ability as a basketball player. They come into the NBA already better than a lot of NBA players. The Kentucky guys are already better than a lot of NBA players... they just aren't in the league yet.

Yes, this isn't the football argument. A college football team will never be able to beat a pro team even if they played 100 times, at least for the foreseeable future.
This is an entirely different argument.
ETA: And let's be clear. Most years the best college team would have no shot beating the worst NBA team, even if they played 20 or 30 times.
But this year is unique, in that Kentucky is probably one of the top 5 college teams ever, and the NBA is in this lull where tanking has become the norm, resulting in some extremely poor teams.

Who on Kentucky do you think is going to set the nba on fire next year? They have 2 rotation type guys on their roster right now in towns and WCS. Lyles is a nice talent and will go high in the draft but would get exposed by an nba sf right now, same with booker. The rest of their team are fringe guys, you have actually watched the Harrison's play before right?
