How would UNC/UCLA/Memphis do in the pros?? 

Post#1 » by jboogy13 » Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:58 pm

how many games do you think each of these teams would win during an 82 game season??

UNC=4
UCLA=3
Memphis=1...(lack of free throw shooting would kill them in this league!!!)

they would not win any game...are you serious?

all of those teams have at most 6 players that will make the NBA, and you expect them to beat teams that not only are just as good players as them, but also much larger and stronger than them.


I hope this is a joke post. None of these teams even have an elite superstar player which would be a team's only hope.

They might be able to beat the Heat without Wade and Marion, though unlikely.

NBA rejects are second and third options on their college teams. What do you think will happen when a bunch of top college prospects play at most two nba level players and a bunch of misfit high school standouts?

Every NBA team would roll over any college team out there.

They would get destroyed worse than Seattle against Denver... Teams would regularly score 150 against them... Deficit would be 30-40 on most nights... I wouldn't be shocked if a good team beat them 100- 10, or something like that...

They would win a couple of games. Obviously they would be by far the worst team, but there is luck and randomness, and even much less talented teams with good cohesion will steal a game (viz. the exhibition games between NBA and European club teams; Euro teams are much better than college of course, but it's still a big talent gap).

They might, just might, be able to beat an NBDL team.

combined they might win 1 game, if they played an awful team that is resting all of its regulars in an effort to get a high draft pick.

Even then it would be a longshot. Miami's bench would beat Memphis.

Even against a Wadeless and Marionless Heat, Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Udonis Haslem (former SEC POY), and Dorrell Wright would go crazy against them and score at least 25 each easily.

Maybe they could take Seattle though. KD and Green are basically great college players, Wilcox and Watson and Ridnour could dominate, but someone like Rose should be able to stay with them at the point, and Dorsey can match up physically with Wilcox. Of course Collison on Dozier's a complete mismatch.

None. How many NBA players does each team have? By my count, UCLA and Memphis have 3 (Love/Collison/Westbrook or Rose/CDR/Dorsey) and UNC has 2 (Hansborough/Lawson). Every NBA team has 12.

They might be a decent match up for Seattle's bench, but no real NBA team.

Why did you leave out the 4th No. 1 seed? Kansas has more future NBAers on its roster than UCLA, Memphis or UNC do.

But to answer your question...any college team would get clobbered on a regular basis by even the worst NBA squad
