4 frosh starters and not elite ones at that? Likely a first weekend exit type duke team.

Welp congrats Duke on winning the championship next year.
Only sure bet with this poll, to me, is MSU. Especially if Winston returns. Dudes have a chance to be really good.
Not recalling much 'all star' level play or achievement from those dudes. In Grant Hill's defense, the ankle issues hampered him for most of his career.
Everyone who isn't an All-Star has underachieved? Wow. That's kind of like expecting people to have everything figured out by their second rodeo.
....Maybe they don't need to reach all-star levels, but getting that 2nd contract or a max contract is a better gauge of NBA career success.
See, I would say carving out pretty solid multi-year careers is pretty good for second round picks like Boozer, Duhon, and Singler. I'd say averaging 18 per game in his 12th season is pretty solid for JJ Redick. And so on...
Della is going to whip your ass. You had better move Tennessee up about 20 places!
.... as he smokes a cig and drinks good Kentucky whisky....... Laughing
Most of those guys that actually could be considered to have not underformed in the NBA were high level recruits whose draft stock took a huge hit by going to duke. So they performed or overperformed their draft position but have severely underperformed their high school recruiting rankings.
Conversely, UK players have both maintained their draft stock and performed as well or better than could be expected at the next level. The only recruits that have underperformed EITHER their recruiting ranking or draft position from UK have been the Harrison twins, marquis Teague, james young, skal and Orton.
That's 7 out of 35 prospects during Cal's tenure.
Conversely, Bledsoe, darius Miller, Devin Booker, WCS, Murray, and SGA have all significantly overperformed.
I see you finally stopped crying and are back in overhype my team mode. Good to see.
I am just glad the gun jammed, the potato fell out of the tail pipe, the rope broke and a truck carrying a load of cotton happened to be driving under the overpass at the exact moment he jumped. Hate to lose a Duke fan.
All of them.
Oh? How is Duke responsible for their draft stock's having taken a so-called "huge hit"?
this thread means just as much as the 7" of snow that just fell in Chicago. why because in a couple days from now it should be gone.
this poll will be replaced by another then the discussion starts all over again.

Big 12 is going to be weak next year.
