Best College Hoops Team For Players In The NBA

In the spirit of March Madness I thought I'd let you know how your favorite team's players rank up against the best after they graduate and go onto bigger and better things. For most of them, that would mean going to the NBA and not a car rental company, insurance agency, etc. And by going up against the best, I mean Kentucky. There isn't a more successful collegiate school right now that can boast their players in the NBA. Here's a current list of active NBA players who played at Kentucky:

Anthony Davis

John Wall

DeMarcus Cousins

Eric Bledsoe

Rajon Rondo

Brandon Knight

Enes Kanter

Terrence Jones

Nerlens Noel

Julius Randle

Archie Goodwin

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Patrick Patterson

Jodie Meeks

Chuck Hayes

Nazr Mohammed

James Young

Tayshaun Prince

Based upon this blog you might think I'm a Kentucky fan. I was, emphasis on "was". Back when Rick Pitino coached the team and they played full-court press, shoot-the-three style of basketball, I loved them. When they lost to Christian Laettner while under reduced scholarships from the Eddie Sutton era, I loved them. Under John Calipari, meh, not-so-much. I can't figure out how he gets the players to play for him, and he should have had a national championship much sooner in my opinion. In case you were wondering too, a list of players at Memphis in the NBA that Calipari had:

Derrick Rose

Tyreke Evans

Chris Douglas-Roberts

Joey Dorsey

Shawne Williams

Earl Barron

The Kentucky list is more than impressive; it's a semi All-Star team. It definitely will be in two-three years. Let me know via Twitter @KCPayne26 if I've missed a more successful college team.
