Reverse the Situation.

It's been talked about a million times that as great as most NCAA players are, if you threw them up against NBA talent, they're not likely going to prevail. Of course there are your exceptions, but it's fairly safe to say that an All College team ain't going to beat even a mediocre NBA team.

Now, what happens if we reverse the situations? Throw an established NBA player onto an average NCAA team. Does that propel that team to becoming an instant contender? Does the NBA player utterly dominate everyone? Or does the nature of the collegiate game prevent the NBAer from demonstrating their full capabilities? Feel free to examine any type of scenario, from your average player, to scrub, to superstar.

Even the worst NBA Team is Filled with All-Americans for the most part. Take the Bobcats and you have Okafor, Felton, May, Morrison and the list goes on. What would they do in College? All you have to look at is what did they do in College to find your answer.

What did Kevin Durant do in College? He completely dominated everything. In the NBA he is an after thought right now up in Seattle as far as talking about top NBA Talent. Put him back on Texas right now, OMFG they would win the Championship in a route. Put him on Oregon State and they would have would have made the NCAA Tournament.

NBA Players are just toooooooo good. Good College Players come to the NBA and look like crap. Hell, even Chris Mihm made Texas a good team. Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson, Charlie Bell and Jason Richardson made Michigan State a Championship Team. Not exactly NBA murders row.

If Dwight Howard had any sort of post game whatsoever he would dominate.

But, he doesn't. So he'd be overrated, just like he is in the NBA.

If NBA scrubs can dominate in NCAA, imagine how much proven NBA players would destroy the NCAA.

And I just want to throw this out now, Tyler Hansborough is gonna be **** in the NBA

No he won't. Just don't stereotype him alongside other white bigs. He is a lot more refined than most think.
