No. 7 – Texas

All I have to say for Texas is one man…Kevin Durant. Now you add LaMarcus Aldridge, DJ Augustin, Myles Turner, and Avery Bradley and you have a starting five no one would want to mess with. We all know about Kevin Durant so I won’t spend much time talking about him, but to many he and LeBron are the two best players on the planet right now, and many think KD has passed LeBron. Aldridge has always been an under the radar player due to where he has played. Portland and San Antonio will not draw a lot of attention your way unless you were there during the Tim Duncan era.

They are also a school that has players that could develop into stars. Mo Bamba from the 2017 team was a top pick, Myles Turner has come into his own on the court, and Jarrett Allen is slowly improving his game in Brooklyn. Texas is churning out bigs just as Kentucky and Duke have been in recent years, and that’s a scary thought.

Texas would be higher on this list, but they just do not have the depth that some of the other schools have that are higher on this list. Other than the players I mentioned in this article no one has really put up that ridiculous numbers.
