Would an all Kentucky team win the title? 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Sat Mar 27, 2021 10:22 pm

Fox
Booker
AD
Towns
Bam

Randle
Murray
SGA
Herro
Wall

Keldon Johnson
Quickley
Kanter
Noel
Bledsoe

WCS
PJ Washington
Rondo
Monk
Trey Lyles

Tyrese Maxey
Knox

I have no idea who would start outside of AD and Towns...you could argue Bam over Towns but Towns spreading the floor for AD, Fox (or SGA) and Book (or Murray).

I have no idea who would be in the rotation and who wouldn't make the team. I imagine the first 12 make it.

It would be the best roster in the nba by far

Weak on the wing. But more than enough talent to win it all.

John Wall
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Devin Booker
Anthony Davis
Karl-Anthony Towns

with a bench of Herro, Bam, Murray, Fox and Randle?

insane.

Fox has made the jump. He’s the starter.

That's true. I originally was going to do Duke vs Kentucky, but then I saw Kentucky's. I wonder if you combine Duke and Kansas...though many Kansas players have either been busts or haven't lived up to the hype.

Kyrie
Barrett
Ingram
Tatum
Zion

Bagley
Trent, Jr
Winslow
Hood
Grayson Allen
WCJ
Seth Curry
Tyus Jones
JJ Redick
Cam Reddish

If you combine Kansas you add:

Embiid
Morris twins
Devonte Graham
Wiggins
Oubre
Josh Jackson

So you could have a starting lineup of

Kyrie
Ingram
Tatum
Zion
Embiid

with a pretty good bench in Graham, Morris twins, Curry, Trent Jr, Barrett, Jones, Bagley, Redick, Reddish, Allen, WCJ

Kentucky still kills them though...starting lineups might be somewhat close but depth would kill them.

Kentucky wins especially with the advantage in true bigs. But Duke is starting to put together a pretty sturdy team themselves.

?
Zion
Tatum
Ingram
Kyrie

Solid bench contributors that know their roles

Winslow
Tyus
Grayson
RJ
Trent
Seth Curry

Is that 5 spot that is a huge weakness for them. But they’re young and they’re getting better.

But ya a Kentucky team wins it all.

I’m not biased at all on this...

But I’d take that Duke/KU combination over Kentucky. Only one ball and a bunch of the Duke and KU guys are very good as role players. You add Embiid to the Duke starting 5, that is hard to stop.

It would be a fun 7 game series.

Starting 5 is close, yes, and Duke/Kentucky has a nice vet bench, but having SGA/Murray/Bam/Herro/Wall/Randle off the bench? That's insane.

Kentucky vs International might be interesting. Jokic/Giannis/Luka for starters

I played a 7 game series using all Kentucky players vs my friend who had all nba players in 2k. Was fun to say the least, fox ran circles around his team he's so op in 2k. I was so undersized in the wing position tho, trying to guard a rotation of kawhi, lebron, Durant, Greek, doncic. I managed to pull out the win 4-2, he had no one that could contain fox and Booker. He wants to start a new series but wants to add jordan on his team lol

That 4 man guard rotation and big man rotation is insane

The wings would suck but I’m not sure it would matter much with that much firepower everywhere else
