NCAA Basketball: Which school’s alumni would make the best NBA team?

Kansas

G – Andrew Wiggins

G – Kelly Oubre

F – Marcus Morris

F – Markieff Morris

C – Joel Embiid

Bench: Josh Jackson, Wayne Selden, Mario Chalmers, Tarik Black, Nick Collison, Ben McLemore, Cheick Diallo, Darrell Arthur, Cole Aldrich

Kansas is one of the teams with the best shot to take down Kentucky. They have no clear distributors other than Rio or maybe a dialed-in Oubre/Wiggins combo, but Embiid alone would take them past most of these teams. They are also one of the biggest teams on the list.

Kentucky (A team)

G – John Wall

G – Devin Booker

F – Anthony Davis

F – Karl-Anthony Towns

C – DeMarcus Cousins

Bench: Rajon Rondo, Bam Adebayo, De’Aaron Fox, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tyler Ulis, Trey Lyles, Jodie Meeks

Kentucky (B Team)

G – Eric Bledsoe

G – Jamal Murray

F – Enes Kanter

F – Julius Randle

C – Willie-Cauley Stein

Bench: Malik Monk, Patrick Patterson, Nerlens Noel, Andrew Harrison, Skal Labissiere, Darius Miller, Brandon Knight

This is just comical. Kentucky’s A-Team has five All-NBA level players, and their B-Team is good enough to make the Final Four of this tournament. Let’s move on before I blow a gasket.

Michigan

G – Tim Hardaway, Jr.

G – Trey Burke

G – Jamal Crawford

F – Caris LeVert

F – Ekpe Udoh

Bench: Glenn Robinson III, Nik Stauskas, D.J. Wilson, Derrick Walton, Jr.

Michigan’s crew is too small and does not have enough scoring/playmaking ability, and really cannot play much defense outside of LeVert and the bench guys, but watching Jamal Crawford take 50 shots a game will be worth it.
