Kentucky RIGHT NOW could beat the Hornets

[Dizzle-2k7]

Kentucky has joined the list of elite college teams that could beat NBA teams (memphis a few years ago with rose, a few duke teams, a few UNC teams, maryland with dix/blake/baxter, uconn with gordon, emeka and few other teams)

Kentucky would stomp all over the Hornets (assuming Eric Gordon is out).. if Eric Gordon plays Ill give the first game to the hornets, but best out of 7, Kentucky takes it in 6.

No they couldn't.

[InspiredLebowski]

Give em 25 games, maybe they get one. MAYBE.

[EnoughSaid]

With EJ playing? Uhhh no. HELL TO THE NO.

[bagelred]

Give em 25 games, maybe they get one. MAYBE.

This. They play 25 games Kentucky could get maybe two. Max.

[LamarOdom]

Are you being an idiot or what? you know that Louisville has no player going in the nba draft 2012 right and they are down by only 6 against the team that would beat the Hornets.

[LamarOdom]

This. They play 25 games Kentucky could get maybe two. Max.

They wouldn't even come close to win every one would be blowout.

[Brickz187]

No college team would ever be able to beat an NBA team.

Anthony Davis is better than anyone on the Hornets or Bobcats though (except for Gordon)

Im not sure about that
You dont think Jordan, Bird, kareem, Duncan lead team even at young age wouldnt beat someone like the Bobcats? Or the Nets few years ago? Or the Bulls after Jordan retired? come on

[Sarcastic]

[Westbrook0]

Not one.

Maybe, maybe, maybe Kentucky would win one in 1,000 or something, but it would take multiple major injuries to the NBA team and every single Kentucky player playing the game of their life, plus every Hornets player that was left playing the worst game of their life, plus lots of help from the refs and lots of luck.

[Knicks101]

:oldlol: They probably couldn't beat a WNBA team. Who is Kentucky anyway? They're horses or something right?

[irondarts]

I hate when people say the best college team could beat the worst NBA team, no they couldn't.

The Hornets would pick Kentucky apart.

NBA team will beat a college team everytime.

You are absolutely correct.

Kentucky has three or maybe four future NBA players and maybe only one will have a big impact. Meanwhile, the Hornets have an entire roster of NBA players. That roster has been good enough to win a handful of actual NBA games this season.

[GOBB]

Im not sure about that
You dont think Jordan, Bird, kareem, Duncan lead team even at young age wouldnt beat someone like the Bobcats? Or the Nets few years ago? Or the Bulls after Jordan retired? come on

That team isnt even realistic. :roll:

Sure a team of ALL those players could beat a crappy NBA team. Not sure your point. Now if you meant one of those players being the guy leading a college team? Then no, they wouldnt defeat a crappy NBA team.

[nba_55]

Noh has 12 NBA level players kentucky has how many?

How many NBA level players did Lithuania have? None or probably 1-2.. Still, they beat some of the best players of USA. That argument doesnt mean anything.

[GOBB]

How many NBA level players did Lithuania have? None or probably 1-2.. Still, they beat some of the best players of USA. That argument doesnt mean anything.

Lithuania is a professional bball team. How long did those players play with each other? How many years of basketball did they have under their belt (experience?). Smarten up kid.

The argument means something, to say it doesnt is ignorant and foolish.

kentucky would beat the shit out of any wnba team, and they get the shit beat outta of them by any NBA team

[Qwyjibo]

They could only keep it somewhat close as long as they kept their starters in. The moment Kentucky goes to the bench, ANY NBA team starts to build a lead and doesn't look back.

[bagelred]

Not one.

.
Well, you always have to give a team a chance just based on luck. Just like the Bobcats could possibly beat the Heat. It's at least POSSIBLE Kentucky could win, just very unlikely.

That's why I say 2 out of 25. Could just get lucky couple times, hit all their shots or whatever. But 2 AT MOST.....probably one or none.

[miggyme1]

idk y people cant just let it go.a college team wll never be able to beat a nba team.just like a high school team will never beat a college team.just like a lady will never be able to play in the nba.its just not gonna happen.in the nba everybody are at the least men with MAN BODIES.anthony davis would get thrown around like a rag doll.it talkes a very special type of player to come out of college and dominate the pros.last person to do it was ai in my opinion.jordan did it as well.and for all the dumbazzes in here when i say str8 out of college...i mean str8 out of college.like first year pro

You didn't get my point. My point was that you dont need NBA level players to beat a nba team. I proved my point with the Lithuania example. I never said that Kentucky could beat a NBA team. You need to smarten up kid :coleman:

NCAA teams would kill them. no arguement.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Nope, the Hornets took Lakers to the last minute in road, no way UK can match up with them. I do believe the Bobcats can be beaten by UK though, in fact any elite eight teams can defeat that trash, UK probably win by 20.

[jlauber]

NCAA final four teams vs WNBA teams is a good debate, though.

You're kidding right?

Just WATCH the NCAA Final four and compare it to the WNBA. It would be as bad a rout as any NBA team beating the best college team in the country. These topics are completely ridiculous.

And how about this...Kemba Walker was the talk of the Final Four LAST year. He IS playing on the Hornets THIS year... 12.2 ppg on .369 shooting.

Wilt's college team went 0-3 in games he missed in his junior year (and 18-2 with him.) They were FAR worse than even the pathetic NBA rosters he had in the first half of his career.

you know how many great college players turn out to be a bust in the NBA? or how so many college players that were so good in college drop production in the NBA? yep.

[The Real JW]

I'd say the food chain goes like this:

1. NBA
2. D-League
3. Euroleague
4. NCAA (Men's)
5. High School (Men's)
6. WNBA

So I don't think UK would even beat a D-League team in a best-of-X series.

:bowdown:

You forgot that the BOBCATS is full of great COLLEGE players, they just as in the NBA. Kemba Walker singly handly lead UCONN to the championship last year, Corey Maggette, DJ AGUISTIN, Matt Carroll.

Kentucky may beat them once out of 10 times maybe.

The UNLV team that had Greg Anthony and Larry Johnson on the other hand, maybe

[liquidrage]

When Pitt was in the Elite 8 two years back their starting 5 avg age was slightly over the combined avg of Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and Maynor.

If you had that starting 5 in college (and that could easily be a starting 5), and that's after 3 years of experience in the NBA with Durant, 2 for Westbrook, and rookies for the other 3. Not only would they have destroyed every single college team they played by like 40 (even the big boys), they would win some NBA games.

Kentucky? No.

[bdreason]

A quality HS Men's team will beat a WNBA team.



And no D1 College team is going to beat an NBA team. I'm not saying it's impossible, but highly improbable.

[Killbot]

No. Few NBA lottery picked players vs NBA consisted lottery players. That's not even mentioning the strength, conditioning, and experience under the NBA players. Plus with the 24 second shot clock? Kentucky's offense will be fcked. 35 seconds? Hornets get all the time to make a shot.

Most likely. That's why the original Dream Team was put together in the first place. College kids couldn't get it done against adult professionals.

that's right!
david robinson, dan majerle, danny manning, mitch richmond couldnt beat the soviet union (which was essentially represented by lithuania). i don't think kentucky has a chance against the present national team.
lithuania would woop an ncaa all-star team right now.

It wouldn't be close. Lithuania would kill Kentucky...Davis wouldn't necessarily even outplay Jonas...he had trouble guarding Cody Zeller, imagine what Jonas would do out there.

[maxhornets]

A fully healthy hornets team would beat UK 4-0 in a 7 game seris with every game being a blowout. With the hornets roster right now with all there injuries (EJ, okafor, kaman, Ariza) hornets would still win a 7 game seris, UK would be lucky to win 1 game, even with 4 of our 5 starters out

This years Ketucky team isn't even close to one of the best in NCAA history and they could not compete with New Orleans. Anthony Davis' skinny ass would get man handled physically right now. He'd get his points but would be nowhere near as dominant going up against guys like Okafor and Kaman. They have talented players who are mostly freshmen. This is a down year (more like era) in college basketball talent wise so this Kentucky team really doesn't impress me all that much anyway.

Based on the fact most of those teams will have a major advantage in size and athleticism.

The top 100 teams in the nation all have at least 1 D1 prospect, and the better the national ranking, the more D1 prospects you can expect to find.

[IGOTGAME]

Based on what?

idk about top 100....but they would struggle against the elite teams in the country. There is just such a big talent gap.

Women are just at a huge physical disadvantage playing men. Even the top women are less athletic than D3 players. The only reason the women could win is because of execution but that wouldn't be enough most of the time imo.

I'm confident that you can take 95% of D1 starter in America and they instantly become first team all WNBA.

It's not that big of a stretch, if you look at state rankings you could take 4-5 teams from certain states that would be too much to handle.

Teams in the USAtoday super 25 have some in-state rivals that either push them or beat them.

Unless you're talking about Top 10-15 programs, WNBA beats them 4 out of 7 consistently.

WNBA perimeter players would work the average 4A high school guard. It's only inside that the physical difference becomes so pronounced. And if the guards are getting worked, the bigs aren't seeing the ball where they need to.

Those women pros play more games than the guys, splitting their time between lucrative overseas teams and WNBA. They're savvy basketball players. Somebody like Taurasi would abuse high school guards/wings.

It doesn't have to be the top 10-15, the team around my area just lost by 6 to the 25th team in the nation. Had they won the game they would have been ranked 25 or better themselves, they are unranked and this is their starting lineup -

6"1
6"4
6"4
6"6
6"8


There isn't a woman's team on the planet with that kind of size, nevermind the fact the 6"6 & 6"8 kid dunk in traffic easily. The 6"4 kid runs the point and just recently signed to play for Oklahoma. This is a Class AA NY team, the top 10 Class AA teams can all beat each other on any given night, and all of them have D1 talent with some having multiple D1 players. That is just for the state of NY, you could probably say the same for CA, TX, IL, PA, FL etc, hell the 18th ranked team in my state had a McDonalds All-American (Dajuan Coleman) and they didn't even win the title for their class.

If those undefeated Uconn teams could lose to a practice squad which was filled with utterly average rec-league type of players there's no reason to believe a WNBA team would get the better against some of the top 100 HS teams.

For reference, look at the guys the college teams play against - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGzudKBHR2w

WNBA team beats them 4 of 7. They'll play far more advanced offensive sets and easily outshoot them.

I've seen thousands of high school teams and tens of thousands of "D1 talents" through the years. Most of them stop looking like "D1 talents" when they get up against real D1 talents. Their teams play rudimentary offense, and they've played against a half dozen defensive alignments in their life.

I'll take the WNBA team in a 7 game series.

I'd pick the HS team, sorry but the gap in athleticism and size is too glaring. The issue is in the matchups, a 6"4 guy can be a guard, a 6"4 woman is almost always a PF or C, and the difference in their ability is drastic.

You can talk offensive sets, but when one team is so much faster than the other there's only so much you can do to let the air out, especially if there's a shot clock.
