No. 1 – Kentucky

A big surprise at number one. Kentucky has just been a powerhouse in recent years becoming almost a factory of lottery picks. They did already have a halfway decent overall history producing some of the most hall of fame players of all-time. Alex Groza and Dan Issel to name two of those players. Then comes what they have done in the last 10 years.

I am going to give a mock line-up for the Wildcats in the NBA today; John Wall, Devin Booker, Julius Randle, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns, good luck. To add to it add players like Rajon Rondo, Jamal Murray, DeMarcus Cousins, De’Aaron Fox, and Eric Bledsoe all coming off the bench.

Their back-up team would be better than pretty much everyone else’s best lineup with the only exception being UCLA. I am not going to give stats on the players as it is more than understood that while they do not have the most storied history like UCLA or North Carolina, man they have some players right now.
