The Great UNC-NBA Downfall: Can We Just Be Reality?

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Wall is the only one who has been a disappointment. Everyone else is where you would expect them

Cal is gonna have this thing goin for another5 or 6 years. And we will get the next great coach after him. Duke might be back in the slums when K retires

Y'all been irrelevant FOR YEARS AND YEARS. PLZ stop breh. Y'all paying nikkas and got the nerve to brag about success. fukk outta here

Breh, pretty sure Lance Thomas already handled that.

Difference between us and Uk is EVERYONE knows Cal is paying them nikkas. Kyrie knew how shady Cal was and decided to come to duke instead of going to UK.

That Cac bullshyt has been a myth for the longest.

Stop with the "superstar" talk. That is an extremely rare thing to be. But we've put a TON of great talent in the NBA in the past 3 years.

PPat is a starter, Wall is a starter, Cousins, Brandon Knight, MKG are all starters. Bledsoe could be a starter on many teams in the league as well.

Anthony Davis is the closest one to "superstar" I could imagine. In terms of total talent put in the NBA Kentucky has shyt all over every other school. The mere fact that we got Josh Harrellson or Deandre Liggins drafted shows how amazing we are.

Please, taking credit on these players who were literally on that campus for 4/5 months is just laughable. These players would've been NBA players regardless where they went.

PPat, Harrellson, Liggins, TJones, DLamb, DMiller were all there 2+ years. Please tell me a school that could've gotten Josh Harrellson drafted.

and if you want to go that route then, every player UNC or Duke has drafted doesn't count because they would've been NBA players anyway.

He tested off the charts athletically at the combine and the nba drafts on potential, look at Daniel orton. Plumlee was a 5* recruit coming out of HS wasn't he? Josh harrellson was like a 2-3*.

mason was 5*, not miles. miles was 3* or 4* by all the major services.

miles could tested at 57inches vertical coming outta Tenn-Chattanooga and no one woulda cared.

He was athletically one of (if not the best) big when tested at the combine. That's why his stock went up, otherwise he wouldn't have even been in the first round. Dude had a 41inch vert. Again. We're talking about drafting on potential here. We'll see if he gets resigned once his contract is up. Harrellson and Liggins have already made two NBA teams, so it's not like they just got drafted on the "Kentucky Effect".

my point is miles wouldn't have even been invited if he hadn't gone to duke.

put it this way...if he hasn't decommitted from stanford, he'd be in europe.

Does Roy Williams not get the most out of his players? It appears that Macadoo is doing teh same thing that Barnes did. A big recruit that isn't playing up to the potential.

It's a question I was discussing with a number of GMs yesterday. Obviously UNC gets a lot of blue chip talent which means they're going to be good no matter what. But how many of those players actually develop or get better while they are at UNC? I can name a bunch of players at Kentucky who improve their games with Cal. Much harder to come up with examples among the elite UNC recruits. Not sure how much development they get there.

he's averaging 17 and 9

Roy Williams is going through the phase Coach K already went through: he won't recruit 1 and done players. I think Anthony Wright was the last 1 and done player Roy recruited.






Negative rep

Brandon Wright, sorry
